Srinidhi’s shocked family said she had come to Bengaluru from Sirsi in pursuit of professional opportunities and a promising future. “As it was a long weekend extending till Monday, the youngsters had planned a trekking trip, but their plan ended before it could even begin,” a relative said. The victim was Srinidhi Bhat , a native of Sirsi who worked with a private tech company in Bengaluru. She died instantly after the motorcycle on which she was travelling crashed near Sadali Cross in Chikkaballapur district. Her friend, Harsha Chauhan, who was riding the bike, sustained serious injuries and is undergoing treatment at Manipal Hospitals, Bengaluru. The group of youngsters had set out from Bengaluru around midnight, hoping to spend the long weekend exploring the hills around Chikkaballapura or possibly trekking in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh. However, Srinidhi and Harsha left Bengaluru a couple of hours after the rest of the group. By the time they were on their way, the others had already reached Chikkaballapura. Download the TOI App.
