"My family has been completely ruined. What mistake have we done to incur this," the weeping middle-aged woman said at the Lady Irwin Hospital where a number of blast victims had been brought for treatment.
Eyewitness account: Five feet from death
Till Saturday evening, Guddi's extended family was living on the footpath near the blast site working as rag pickers. Now seven of them are dead, four are battling for their lives and two others are missing.
'It seems terrorists knew how we would react'
"Saturday was a normal day for us. We were just near the blast site when we heard a loud bang. After that the only thing I remember is my family members lying on the road with blood splattered around," Guddi said.
The dead members of her family are a teenage girl Pooja, Ramlal (40), Billu (42), Raju, Sandhya (45) and his two children Ashok Kumar (22) and Saroj (25).
