Hyderabad: Housewife S. Bhavani, 36, who was injured in a wall collapse at Vanasthalipuram on Thursday died on Saturday. Bhavani suffered serious injuries in the incident. The wall was weighed down with gravel and construction debris dumped by builders.
Doctors at Omni Hospital, where Bhavani was under treatment, said that she died due to polytrauma blunt injury in the abdomen, spleenic laceration, splenectomy colonic serosal injury and left kidney avulsion.
Meanwhile, police who had registered a case for causing injuries due to negligence altered the case to causing death by negligence.
The compound wall of the rented house where S. Bhavani was staying was built more than a decade ago. Meanwhile, adjacent to their building an construction of an apartment had begun and the builder Green Meadows had taken up the work. The gravel from the apartment complex and construction debris was dumped near the wall on the other side of their building. Due to the heavy downpour on Thursday morning, the gravel and the debris became heavy and the wall crashed.
While Bhavani and other women were filling water, a portion of the wall collapsed and Bhavani who was walking by the wall got stuck under it. She was hospitalised and three surgeries were performed on her.
Her left kidney which was totally damaged was removed and she was put on life support.
“She suffered a blunt injury on the chest and pelvis. She suffered a pelvic fracture too. She succumbed while under treatment on Saturday,” Dr Venkatesh from Omni Hospital said.
