Man seeks justice after wife dies from banned kite string
A woman named Sarabjit Kaur died in a tragic accident caused by a banned plastic kite string.
She was driving her two-wheeler when the string got wrapped around her neck and hurt her badly.
Her husband, Mandeep Singh, is very sad and angry because this kind of string is still being sold even though it's not allowed.
He wants to know who will be responsible for his wife's death.
The police have started an investigation, but Mandeep is not sure if it will lead to any justice.
He thinks that the government and police are not doing enough to stop the sale of these dangerous strings.
Two other people also died from similar accidents in the same week.

“Even after my wife is gone, will this stop? Will anyone be held responsible for my wife’s death? If yes, then who and how?”

“I, my wife, my parents or anyone else in the family never bought China dor, we never even flew kites… My entire life has been finished within two minutes but still no one will be held responsible. My son keeps searching for his mother at night… he can’t sleep without her. For the Punjab Police and the Punjab government, all this won’t matter because for them my wife will be just another case.”
