The deceased belonged to different motorcycle riding clubs and were travelling in a Volkswagen car bearing registration number AS01 BP 0605 from Nagaon town in Assam to Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh.

They started their journey on July 19 and have been missing since then.

All the deceased were found near the mangled remains of their car after crossing the Sessa waterfall.

“The car fell off the road 0.2 kilometres ahead in the direction of Sessa. The reasons behind the mishap may have been due to fog or a mechanical issue. We are unsure because the car has been shattered into pieces, rescue operations are ongoing, and now the relatives of the deceased are also present at the scene,” said SP Sargey Norbu of Arunachal Pradesh.
