New Delhi : Frenzied relatives today thronged several of the city hospitals where victims of the serial blasts in the capital lay admitted even as police said the toll stood at 20 so far.
The maximum activity was seen at RML hospital in central Delhi which received most of the casualties and the injured.
The Saturday evening blasts at the Central Park in Connaught Place killed soon-to-be married Kamini, who along with her fiance Rawat Kashyap, had come to the city.
While Kamini, a TCS employee, died at the RML hospital, Kashyap (27) is recuperating, oblivious to Kamini’s death, at the ICU.
“Both were about to get married. Kamini came to Delhi to write an exam. Both were sitting on a bench at the Central Park unknown to the tragic fate they met,” one of the relatives present at the hospital said.
The hospital, according to CMO R K Sharma, by this morning had discharged 31 people out of the 60 admitted since yesterday. While 10 of those admitted were in a serious condition, another 19 were recuperating, he said.
Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said the 20 people were dead and 98 others injured in the blasts.
Another victim Chandrabhan, a driver with MCD, who was declared brought dead at RML from Karol Bagh, was the sole earning member for his family.
His wife was seen weeping profusely waiting for her husband’s body.
Sanjiv, admitted at LNJP hospital, broke down when he saw his brother for the first time since last evening after the blast at the bus stop in Barakhamba road.
“I am so relieved. The injuries have eased after I have seen my bother Somesh,” Sanjiv said.
