They are taxi driver Bed Prakash Subedi, Gita Sherapunja and Spen Sherapunja, residents of Dagnam-4 in Myagdi and Dal Bahadur Tilija, a resident of Beg-4 in Myagdi. The identity of one remains unknown.
The missing persons are feared dead as police have not traced them till Friday evening.
“We only recovered the taxi (Ga 1 Ja 1239),” DSP Acharya said, adding, “The river might have swept them away.” DSP Acharya said the accident might have taken place due to the driver´s negligence as the road was not narrow or slippery.
Meanwhile, 19 persons were injured when a bus (Ga 1 kha 1545) met with an accident at Aabukhaireni-6 of Tanahu along the Prithvi highway.
Three of the injured are in critical condition. The bus fell about 100 meters after colliding with a mound that lay by the side of the road.
