The investigation into the incident is currently ongoing.
This is not the first incident of its kind in the area. On August 11 last year, a 34-year-old man lost his life in a similar incident while on his way to celebrate Raksha Bandhan at his in-laws’ house in Loni.

He was on his way home on a scooter when a stray kite got stuck around his neck.
Four people were killed in a similar manner last year till August 14, according to police.
In 2017, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) banned Chinese maanjha in the national capital terming it dangerous for animals and human beings and also citing its being a good conductor of electricity.
