Hotelier Sunita was walking to her hotel at TC Palya Junction when the accident happened.
Sunita’s husband Krishnamurthy was working nearby and rushed to admit Sunita in a hospital. At the time of the incident, there was a lockdown in effect in Bengaluru and Sunita got to know what happened only when she saw the CCTV footage after the lockdown ended last week.
The auto driver was not injured in the incident although he did have to recover from the shock of being hurled in the air. It was the dangling wire which caused the incident.
