The death toll in the Kalamassery blast in Kochi, Kerala, has risen to five after a 45-year-old woman, identified as Sally Pradeep, succumbed to her injuries on Saturday evening. The incident occurred during a prayer meeting of Jehovah’s Witnesses, a Christian sect, and has left several others injured.
