A fatal accident occurred on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway involving a man who suffered a fatal throat injury caused by a kite string. The string, commonly referred to as 'manjha', is often coated with glass or metal powder to make it sharper for kite-flying competitions, a practice that has been linked to numerous injuries and deaths in the region over the years.

According to reports, the incident was brought to the attention of the police by passersby who utilized the Dial-112 emergency response system. While the specific identity of the victim and the exact circumstances leading to the encounter with the string remain limited in initial reports, the event highlights the ongoing safety concerns regarding the use of reinforced kite strings in public spaces. Authorities have previously attempted to regulate or ban the sale of sharp, synthetic 'manjha' due to these dangers, yet incidents continue to be reported across the city. No further details regarding potential suspects or specific kite-flying activities in the immediate vicinity have been released by law enforcement at this time.
