The victim was identified as Ravi Kumar, who lived in Gandhi Vihar and worked at an auto parts workshop in Anand Parbat. He was rushed to a hospital before police reached the spot, where they found a blood-soaked string hanging from a tree. It has been preserved for a forensic examination,” said deputy commissioner of police (north) Nupur Prasad, referring to a type of kite string that is banned. Manjha is a type of kite string that is strengthened and coated with sharp shards, making it a hazard for motorcyclists. We are yet to ascertain how the manjha got stuck around Ravi’s neck and slit his throat,” an officer involved in investigations said.
