Bengaluru: A case of negligence has been registered against the BBMP after 13-year-old Priya Gowda bled to death at a park maintained by the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) at MVJ Layout.

Priya who had come to the park had reportedly climbed on an under-construction slide when the slide came crashing down injuring her seriously. By the time she was taken to a hospital she had passed away due to severe bleeding. The incident occured on Saturday evening.

Notably though the play equipments were to be installed at the park, the BBMP had neither put up any warning boards around the place nor there was any security guard around.

The children would have had no idea that the play equipments were only half assembled said locals who termed it a sheer case of negligence on the part of the BBMP and the contractor.

Meanwhile a day after the tragedy the park was locked and all uninstalled play equipment were lying on the ground.

A case has been filed against the contractor too and an investigation is ongoing
