Three other children, who had been grievously injured, were admitted to the Ramanagara Hospital for treatment, before being shifted to a hospital in Bengaluru. Suchit, a Class 5 student, had been seriously injured in the head and was being treated at the BGS Hospital in Bengaluru, but he died after battling for life for a week.
The locals have staged an intense protest against the continued loss of life due to the accident at Gollaradoddi. They placed her body in the middle of the road in the village and gathered around it in protest. Some of the protesters also set tyres on fire, all of them demanding that the goods vehicle driver be punished severely for taking lives of children. "The elected representatives and officers should meet the families of the deceased children and provide them relief for the loss," the people have urged during the protest.
