Delhi blast: No tomorrow for Deepak, Nizammuddin, Vinod

Firstpost’s Editor Investigations, Raman Kirpal has been at the Ram Manohar Lohia hospital for the past few hours. These are some of the stories behind the victims of the blast. Our intention is not to sensationalise the event but to highlight the very real and devastating loss that lies behind the numbers that flash on our TV screen. These are people who left their homes for a regular day at court only to become casualties of a terror attack. We present these stories with immense respect and sympathy for the victims’ families and their loss. We will update this page as we receive more stories of the victims.

Vinod Jaiswal, 53, had come to file a PIL. He has now passed away after a heavy wound to his abdomen. Firstpost met with his family, who are now waiting for his body.

Court staff Deepak, 26, was standing in a queue to make a pass for a client of his law firm. He survived but sustained a leg injury.

A young (23), Sikh lawyer, who was an intern and a Delhi University student, died in the attack.

A newly wed woman, a member of the court staff, who was making passes for litigants, bore the maximum impact since the briefcase bomb was lying near the window. She was sitting right at the window slipping out paper passes for litigants.

Nizammuddin, 55, was a Munshi at Tees Hazari courts who had come along with his two grand children to the HC. He had some bail matter. He was standing in the queue when the bomb went off. He died on the spot. One grand child received injuries. And another escaped unhurt. His daughter Mumtaz was at RML.
