The area is indded poorly lit. People are inclined to walk in the road as the footpath just there has an electricity pole with side bits sticking out and on the other side, a blank wall back of the Padma where a few yoicks park their boicks.
This very lightly built lady fell on the side holding her bulky hand-bad, which did the damage.
This was a nasty trick, set up in an effort to "help" the tourist to get to their feet at the same time relieving them of their cash.
With the fatality ensuing, it's unlikely to be tried again.
The Torist lady involved was bed-ridden for a few days and Hubby was double happy as he had to drink her share; wotta guy!
