The Karnataka government has promised to punish those responsible for the tragic events in Bangalore during Royal Challengers Bangalore’s victory celebrations. But for those who lost their loved ones, lives have been altered forever.

On Wednesday, 14-year-old Divyanshi dressed for school and was about to leave home when her mother, Ashwini, sprang a surprise.

“Bunk school today,” Ashwini told Divyanshi. “Let’s go and see RCB’s victory celebrations. Maybe you’ll get to see Virat Kohli.”
