In the first incident, sub inspector, Manoj Kumar, posted at Anand Vihar, was injured while he was patrolling the area. A kite string reportedly came in his way and his throat was slit. He sustained a deep wound.

“He was crossing the River Cross mall when the kite string grazed his neck, injuring him. He immediately stopped his bike, and tied his handkerchief around his neck to stop the blood flow. He then rushed to the hospital and has been admitted for treatment,” a senior police officer said.

In another case, a 21-year-old biker was injured while he was on his way to Jafrabad. Sajid was rushed to the hospital by the pillion rider and has been admitted for treatment. “The kite string was so sharp that it cut one of his nerves in the neck and he collapsed. He was taken to the hospital and is undergoing a surgery. His condition is said to be critical,” a senior police officer said.

Police have registered cases of negligence in both matters.
