Doctors Save Engineer After Manja Cuts Neck
A man named Karthik, who works as a software engineer, was riding his bike with his fiancée in Hyderabad when a sharp kite string called manja got wrapped around his neck.
The string cut his neck badly, and he started bleeding a lot.
A kind doctor who was passing by saw him and took him to the hospital quickly.
The doctors at Kamineni Hospital worked very fast to fix his neck and stop the bleeding.
They had to do surgery to put his blood vessels back together.
Karthik also had cuts on his fingers from trying to pull the string off.
His fiancée had small cuts too.
The doctors say that manja is very dangerous, especially the kind with glass coating, and more people could get hurt if it's not controlled.
Karthik is lucky that the doctor helped him in time, or it could have been much worse.
Karthik, a software engineer, suffered a severe neck injury from a glass-coated manja string while riding his bike in Hyderabad.
The manja cut through his neck muscles and severed upper blood vessels, causing heavy bleeding.
A passing doctor noticed the incident, provided first aid, and took Karthik to Kamineni Hospital.
Doctors performed emergency surgery to reattach the severed blood vessels and repair the muscle.
