According to police, the sharp, glass-coated string entangled around her neck, causing grave injuries. She died on the spot.

This is the second case of manja-related death in just two weeks.
On January 14, a 38-year-old migrant worker died in Sangareddy after his throat was slit by the dreaded nylon thread.
Avadhesh Kumar from Uttar Pradesh had come to the city in search of a job. The incident took place while he was riding a motorcycle to the local market. Although he was rushed to the hospital, he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The Telangana government imposed a complete ban on Chinese manja in 2016, citing the serious threat it poses to humans, birds and the environment.
