A horrifying video is going viral on social media, highlighting the life-threatening dangers of illegal kite flying using sharp manja.

The woman shared that the incident occurred on January 2, while she was travelling back from her office and crossing an overbridge on her usual route.

As she touched the thread, she immediately suffered burns on her fingers. In her attempt to free herself, the manja caused deep cuts and severe friction burns on her neck and hands. She revealed that the thread was extremely sharp, making it difficult to remove. In the process, one of her fingers required stitches due to the injury.

Describing the terrifying moments, she said she was “struggling for her life” and feared she could have lost her vocal cord had the wound been slightly deeper. According to her, the kite was being flown by a man standing on the same over bridge, recklessly putting the lives of several commuters at risk.

Fortunately, the woman managed to reach a nearby hospital in time and received immediate medical treatment. She stressed that while she survived the incident, the consequences could have been fatal. “That day it was me, another day it could have been someone else,” she said, urging people to understand how dangerous manja can be.

The video has triggered outrage online, with users demanding stricter enforcement against the use of banned sharp manja and greater awareness.
