Bengaluru: “She was screaming for help on the phone; I was helpless, there was nothing we could do but run, but they were both up in flames by the time we reached,” said Shobha, the mother of Soundharya, the woman who was electrocuted with her 9-month-old daughter on Sunday morning.
Shobha, who took in Soundharya as her daughter after the latter’s parents passed away over a decade ago, was inconsolable.
Speaking to DH, she explained that Soundharya, her husband Santhosh, and their daughter Suviksha had gone to Santhosh’s home in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, last Sunday and were returning just in time for Soundharya to pay her 12th-grade government examination fee before sitting for her exams.
