Woman dies five years after she was wounded in Jaipur blast

A 39-year-old woman has lost her battle for life five years after she was wounded in the 2008 Jaipur blast and slipped into coma. Sushila Sahu died at Jaipur's SMS Hospital on Tuesday night after she was admitted there following deterioration in her health. Sushila's daughter, Neha, said her mother had been in coma since May 13, 2008 when she was wounded in the blast outside a temple in Jaipur's Chandpole Bazaar. Neha said the common people of Jaipur had stood by them. Her brother, Jeetesh, said, "Even if she was in coma, we always had a feeling that she was with us.'' He said they used to tell her about their problems, achievements and discuss things whether she was listening or not. "I lost my mother. For me mother is the best friend in the world for any daughter or son.'' Sushila's husband, Rajendra Sahu, remembered her as the best wife and mother. "Both of my daughters are well educated and my wife inculcated good values in them.'' He said one of his sons is a businessman while another is pursuing MBBS. The family has little hope of the investigating agency cracking the case. "At least 70 people, including my wife, lost their lives. But not even a single person has been convicted.''
