In a tragic incident in the national capital, a biker on his way to his sister's home for Rakhi died after his throat was slit by a glass-coated kite string, commonly referred to as Chinese manjha.
The glass-coated strings, which have caused several accidents in the past, are banned in Delhi since 2016, but continue to be widely used. This is the second death caused by this kind of threat in Delhi this month.
