Three Yarshagumba (Cordyceps sinensis) pickers who were attacked at a camp in the upper region of Mugu were rescued three days after the incident on Friday. A group of unidentified gunmen had attacked them on Tuesday night, killing one Karma Angyal Lama and injuring Karma Larke Lama, Pema Norbu Lama and Norgyan Lama.
The body of Karma Angyal and the injured trio were airlifted and brought to the district headquarters, said Chief District Officer Keshavraj Sharma. He added the rescue was delayed because of inclement weather. Meanwhile, police are searching for the assailants in the Patan region.
Security has also been heightened in the border areas between Dolpa, Jumla and Humla districts, said Deputy Superintendent of Police Som Thapa.
