BENGALURU: A 50-year-old woman has died of injuries sustained in a road accident here, for which locals have blamed a pothole and held the civic officials responsible. Umadevi, who was severely injured in an accident on Monday and was undergoing treatment at ESI hospital in Rajajinagar in Bengaluru, succumbed to the injuries last night.
Chief minister Basavaraj Bommai on Tuesday directed the police to conduct a preliminary inquiry based on the complaint received and report back, as he also assured prompt action.
