A 48-year-old motorcyclist lost his life after a nylon kite string struck his neck in Karnataka, leaving him critically injured.
The victim has been identified as Sanjukumar Hosamani. According to eyewitnesses, the kite string caused a deep cut in his neck, leading to heavy bleeding. Hosamani reportedly fell off his motorcycle but managed to call his daughter for help before collapsing.
A video from the scene showed him soaked in blood while struggling to make the phone call. A passerby attempted to stop the bleeding using a cloth, and local residents immediately called for an ambulance.
