Motorist hospitalized in Cuttack kite string incident
Cuttack, Jan 20: A motorcyclist faced critical injuries on Friday as a kite string entangled around his neck on the Kathajodi river bridge in Cuttack. Akshya Kumar Mohapatra from Kalyan Nagar, Cuttack, was profusely bleeding and promptly admitted to a city hospital. His condition is now stable.
The incident occurred while Akshya was en route to Bhubaneswar on his motorcycle, with a kite string becoming entangled around his neck. Suspicions point to the use of Chinese manja, a banned kite string, as the cause of Akshya's injuries.
This unfortunate event adds to a series of similar incidents in the millennium city, resulting in injuries to four individuals in the past month. In response to such occurrences, Cuttack DCP Pinak Mishra had previously cautioned the public and shopkeepers against the use and sale of Chinese manja.
