"We were not told how they plan to proceed with the probe," the distraught husband said. "I escaped the crash and my daughter who was in the back was clinging to me. "The government and BMRCL have announced ex-gratia but I felt that the probe lacked empathy or even understanding. "They (BMRCL) should have cordoned off the dangerous areas where construction was going on. While Karnataka government announced Rs 10 lakh ex-gratia for the victims' family, BMRCL announced Rs 20 lakh compensation. We still cannot believe that this happened to us," Sulakhe said. They felt the impact and fell off," he said. According to BMRCL, one of the guy wires holding the pillar up had snapped and caused the accident. The couple left from their home near Horamavu-Kalkere Main Road and were on their way to Vijaya Nagar, where the daycare was located. Sulakhe, however, seemed relieved that the accident did not cause more damage. Had they left a minute earlier or later from home, they could have escaped the tragedy, he rued. As we were both employed and mostly away for work, we felt our children would benefit from daycare," Sulakhe said.
