Ramesh Kanaujia, a 35-year-old father of two, was killed in the city of Gorakhpur in the state of Uttar Pradesh, northern India, after a sharp synthetic kite string, known as "Chinese manja," wrapped around his neck while he was riding a scooter. The string caused a deep cut to his neck, causing Kanaujia to lose control of the vehicle and overturn. Bystanders rushed him to the hospital, but he was pronounced dead due to severe blood loss. The incident has sparked public outrage over the continued use of these dangerous, banned strings, which are made of synthetic materials and coated with glass or metal shards. City police officer Nilesh Patel announced the opening of a criminal investigation and a 48-hour enforcement operation against the sale of the strings. Heartbreaking scenes were recorded at the hospital: Kanaujia's widow, Purnima, cried out to see his face one last time. Kanaujia was the sole breadwinner for his family, leaving behind two young children, 11-year-old Aparna and 7-year-old Aryan. Police are trying to determine how the string reached the area and who is responsible for its use.
