Bengaluru, Dec 29 (IBNS): Bhavani Bala, the victim who died in the blast in Bengaluru on Sunday evening, had come from Chennai with her children on Christmas vacation, media reports said.

She went out with relatives for an evening stroll when the blast occurred and she was fatally wounded by shrapnel.

She was hit in the head and neck by shrapnel that caused severe blood loss. Bhavani died in hospital.

Sources said Bhavani and her children had visited Mysore two days ago and on Sunday. She reportedly was to return to Chennai on Sunday but had to stay back as she couldn’t get tickets.

The Karnataka government also announced Rs. 5 lakh compensation for Bhavani’s bereaved family.
