A motorist named from Gurrayigudem village, Chandrugonda mandal in Telangana suffered a severe throat cut, reportedly caused by Chinese manja, while riding his two-wheeler in Ramavaram village, Bhadradri Kothagudem district.
The incident occurred as the motorist named Krishna Rao was returning home, with the Sankranti festival approaching, a time when kite flying is common.
As he rode, the sharp manja inadvertently slashed his throat, causing him to collapse onto the ground. A passerby noticed his fall and rushed to assist him as he was bleeding profusely.
