Woman dies after being thrown out of rotating device

Staff Reporter
BANGALORE: For 25-year-old Ayesha, a visit to Cubbon Park on Monday proved to be her nemesis. At the Bal Bhavan’s amusement park, she was thrown out of what is commonly called “Tora Tora,” a rotating device. The impact was such that she hit her head hard against a rock and died instantaneously. Her three-year-old daughter suffered minor injuries. Ms. Ayesha came with her friend Rajesh and her daughter Namra to the Jawahar Bal Bhavan. It was closed, but the amusement park managed by a private company was open. Eyewitnesses said Ms. Ayesha, Mr. Rajesh and Namra climbed into the Tora Tora. The operator bolted each seat and started the device. Midway, the bolt on Namra’s side gave way and she was flung out. Miraculously, a bystander instinctively caught the child. Ayesha was also thrown off. She hit the railing and crashed to the ground. She died on the spot. The operator, manager and owner were arrested.
