Man Dies After 'Manjha' Slits Throat On Delhi-Meerut Expressway
The incident was reported to police by passersby through the Dial-112 emergency service.
Ghaziabad (UP), August 17: A young man from Ghaziabad passed away following a tragic accident involving a sharp kite string, or 'manjha', while he was riding on a motorcycle on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway. The incident occurred on August 15, around 2 pm, when Ravi, a resident of Noida, was on a journey with his friend Naresh to Delhi-Ghazipur for some work.
As they crossed a bridge prior to reaching the UP Gate, a kite string unexpectedly became entangled around Ravi's neck. The motorcycle was traveling at high speed, resulting in the string inflicting a severe cut to Ravi's throat. Despite Naresh's efforts to control the motorcycle and stop the bleeding by tying a gamcha around Ravi's neck, the severity of the injury led to doctors declaring Ravi dead upon arrival at Max Hospital.
The police arrived at the scene and initiated an investigation, along with conducting a post-mortem examination. The inquest is currently underway, and legal action will be pursued, as per police reports. Kite string, commonly known as 'manjha', is a sharp object often used during kite-flying and is prohibited due to the significant danger it poses to individuals and animals.
