Anurag was discovered alive by seven Nepali climbers 300 metres down into a crevasse, according to the Myrepublica news page.

"The rescue team included 9 Nepalese climbers and the two Polish alpinists," sports writer Angela Benavides stated on Twitter. According to accounts, three Nepalese and one Polish climber entered the crevasse and discovered (Anurag) Maloo still alive. The rest of the Sherpa crew then dragged them out." "The team operated in rapidly worsening weather, at one of the mountain's most dangerous spots, with frequent avalanches," she stated.
Due to terrible weather, evacuation to Kathmandu was not an option, but pilots were able to fly Anurag to Manipal Hospital in Pohkara, she added.
