Dr Kripali Nikam of Pimple Saudagar was riding Activa two-wheeler towards Bhosari from Pune side over the flyover at Nashikphata on Sunday evening when nylon manja (thread) caused a deep cut around her neck.

The incident took place around 6.45 pm.

Nikam isn’t the first victim of the nylon manja, which has been banned by National Green Tribunal (NGT) and is still being used for flying kites by many residents. In February this year, Sakal newspaper employee Suvarna Mujumdar (45) was also killed by the manja on Shivaji bridge near the Pune municipal corporation while she was riding a two-wheeler, when a stray nylon manja thread slit her throat, causing a deep cut. A few passers by rushed her to a private hospital, where she had to immediately undergo surgery. Three days later she succumbed to her injuries.

Then Raghunath Bhujbal had suffered a cut on his neck after manja which had glass glued to it, entangled around his neck while he was waiting at a traffic signal in Pimpri earlier this year. Similarly, two-year-old Hamza Khan was also injured by a stray manja. He had to get 25 stitches on the region above his left eye following the incident .
