An elderly woman and her daughter died after a fire broke out in an apartment on Bannergatta Road in Bengaluru's Devarachikkanahalli.
The two deceased women have been identified as Lakshmi Devi (82) and her daughter Bhagya Rekha (59).
The fire, that is believed to have started due to a gas cylinder explosion, originated on the third floor and spread up to the fourth floor of the five-storey building.
A video of one of the woman who died in the fire went viral on social media in which she can be seen trying to dodge the flames in her balcony.

what a shit way to die, just being cornered and knowing there's no way to escape your fate.

Also knowing it will be a wildly painful fate at that. Just in the hope that an extra minute will be enough for real help to arrive. A dude with an angle grinder could have saved her too. Those bars are not super thick looking.

ahhh, yes, when watching the video i was kinda confused on why the whole balcony needed to be barricaded in that manner?
at least with an open balcony she could've had the chance to jump, even if led to another demise. (sadly)
also, i do agree with you, the bars looked very thin!
