The deceased has been identified as Moodligiri, an electrician by profession. He was travelling on a bike with another person when the tree suddenly uprooted and crashed onto them. The duo was reportedly on their way to deliver an order when the mishap occurred. Moodligiri died on the spot due to severe injuries, while the second person sustained critical injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital. The deceased’s body has been shifted to St. John’s Hospital for post-mortem.
Bengaluru has been grappling with intense pre-monsoon showers in recent days, leading to flooding, power outages, and falling trees across the city. Civic officials have come under increasing pressure to take proactive measures to prevent such incidents, especially the pruning and inspection of old and vulnerable trees.
Residents of the area have raised concerns about long-ignored complaints related to tree maintenance. BBMP officials have visited the site, and an inquiry into the incident is currently underway.
