A 35-year-old woman, Shashikala, died in Bengaluru’s Mahadevapura area on Thursday after a compound wall collapsed on her. The incident occurred when she arrived at i-Zed company in Channasandra, where she worked as a housekeeper.
Overnight rainfall is suspected to have weakened the wall, causing it to give way. Shashikala died on the spot. She is survived by her husband, a daily wage labourer, and their two young children. The family hails from Shahapur, Yadgir district in Karnataka.
Mahadevapura police have visited the location and begun an investigation.
