KUALA LUMPUR: The family of Vijayalaksmi, who tragically fell into an 8m-deep sinkhole at Jalan Masjid India here on Aug 23, conducted a final religious ceremony at the site before returning to India.
According to Astro Awani, her husband, son and sister visited the area yesterday to perform the Hindu ritual.
They lit oil lamps and rang bells as part of the ceremony.
They were seen taking a clump of soil, which they placed in a plastic bag, presumably to take back to India.
It is understood that the family were to depart for India at 5pm.
The victim, a 48-year-old tourist from Kuppam, Andhra Pradesh, went missing after falling into the sinkhole.
Despite extensive search efforts, including the use of sniffer dogs and scuba units, the search and rescue team was unable to locate her.
