Members of Calgary’s Sikh community are in shock as a search continues for Gagandeep Singh Khalsa. Friends say he fell into the North Saskatchewan River near the Glacier Lake Trail in Banff National Park.
The young man was
posing for photos near the edge of the river with a mountain in the background
when it’s believed he fell. That was the last time his friends saw him.
Gagandeep was travelling
to Jasper, Alta., with two other friends when they stopped to hike the Glacier
Lake Trail just after 6 p.m.
At a bridge on the
trail, Khalsa scrambled down to the river’s edge, friends said.
“One of his friends was
standing on the bridge and he asked him to take his picture,” Parmeet Singh
Boparai told Global News Monday. “His friend took his picture and his friend
turned his back to take another picture. Then he heard some noises from the
back.”
Khalsa’s hiking
companions said they turned around and saw hands waving from the water.
“They jumped into the
water trying to rescue [Khalsa], but they couldn’t find him,” Boparai said.
“The only thing they
got was his turban. His turban was floating. They pulled out his turban and
left it on the side to show the rescue team where it was.”
