Bengaluru, March 22: A heartbreaking road accident occurred in Bengaluru, Karnataka, on Saturday, resulting in the death of a four-year-old girl. The child was struck by a speeding vehicle, leading to her death at the scene. Fortunately, her mother and younger sibling escaped unharmed.
The incident took place near the Hanumantegowdanapalya area, close to the town of Nelamangala. The deceased girl has been identified as Nishika, the eldest daughter of Rajendra and Lavanya.
According to police reports, Lavanya was heading to the Anjaneya Swamy Temple in Gollahalli to celebrate the Ugadi festival with her two children. She was carrying the younger child in her arms while holding Nishika’s hand.
