Sangareddy: A discarded strand of the banned Chinese manja, which is still being sold widely in the district, slit the throat of a migrant worker, Avadesh Kumar (35), at Fasalwadi village in Sangareddy mandal on Wednesday, killing him on the spot.
Kumar, a native of Uttar Pradesh, had come to Sangareddy to eke out a livelihood by working in paddy fields. He was travelling on a motorcycle from Fasalwadi to Sangareddy to purchase vegetables when a discarded Chinese manja hanging across the road suddenly cut his neck, causing severe bleeding. Though passersby alerted an ambulance, Kumar succumbed to his injuries before it reached the spot.
He is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter. The Sangareddy police registered a case and shifted the body to the government hospital in Sangareddy for postmortem.
