Indian- American killed in shark attack

A 49-year-old Indian-origin woman equity manager based here has been killed by a tiger shark while scuba diving on a remote Costa Rican island, according to media reports. Rohina Bhandari was part of an 18-member group that went for a diving session off Cocos Island National part in Costa Rica, which is a Unesco World Heritage Site, famous for the abundant varieties of shark species, The New York Post reported. Bhandari, a Wall Street private equity manager, was hauled out of the water after sustaining severe bites to her legs, Costa Rica’s environment ministry said. A dive master also suffered a shark bite but those injuries were not life-threatening.
