Youth dies in freak accident
In a freak accident, a youth riding a motorcycle died after kite strings, sharpened with abrasive materials like glass shards, slit his throat near AGB Colony in the capital's Motijheel yesterday.
Mohammad Shaon, 20, a Mugda resident, was leaving the colony around 6:00pm when he came back after going around 100 yards. Before losing consciousness, Shaon managed to say that he was not feeling well, said his friend Jitu.
Shaon was bleeding profusely from his throat and DMCH doctors declared him dead around 7:30pm, he said.
Kite flyers use sharpened strings to take part in “dog fights” where the objective is to cut their opponent's string.
