Broke tourists rescued from cave in India

Indian officials rescued six tourists who were living in a cave in India following a lockdown to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

The four men and two women had moved to a cave in Rishikesh in northern India after they were stranded in the country.

The tourists said that they decided to move into the cave because they were running out of money.

They lived in the cave for 25 days before local people spotted them and informed the police.

The six have tested negative for coronavirus and have been moved to a private quarantine centre.

The foreign nationals are from Ukraine, the US, Turkey, France and Nepal, and had arrived in India separately last year.

Air, rail and road transport have been suspended in India since 24 March.
