New Delhi : The 24-year-old woman killed in a bomb blast on Thursday on a train in Chennai was to marry in a couple of months, her parents told to media.

Swathi, from Guntur in Andhra Pradesh, was an employee of an IT company in Bangalore.

She landed a job at TCS Bangalore in January this year and had applied for a week’s leave in office to spend time with family.

She was going to Andhra Pradesh when two low intensity explosions in quick succession occurred in two coaches of the Bangalore-Guwahati express train around 7.15 a.m., after it entered the Chennai Central station. At least 14 other people were injured.

Speaking to reporters at their residence in Guntur, Swathi’s parents were unconsolable as they said their daughter was to be married in a couple of months. A report in The Hindu quoted family sources as saying that Swathi had told her parents that she would be marrying her classmate from Warangal.

They reached Chennai later on Thursday to collect Swathi’s body.

A witness said the rail coaches were not badly damaged but the seat where the woman was seated bore the brunt of the explosion. She was the only casualty in the blast.
