New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Friday directed the crime branch of Delhi police to investigate cases of four deaths of bikers caused by the Chinese manjha. The court has also sought a comprehensive Status report from Delhi Police. The court also ordered the crime branch to investigate the manufacture, sale and storage of Chinese manjha (kite-flying threads laced with glass) in markets and shops in the national capital.
Justice Prathiba M Singh directed the crime branch to investigate the 4 death cases that occurred in August 2021, July and August 2022. The FIRs have already been registered. The court directed, " The crime branch of Delhi police shall investigate the case and file a comprehensive status and an affidavit within six weeks.
The court said that the status report shall contain information regarding the manufacturer/importers who are selling, markets where it is available, whether the shopkeepers arrayed as accused or not, and the status of the FIR or any other FIR registered.
The court also directed that government officials shall visit the markets and sensitise the shopkeeper about the outcome of using the Chinese manjha and its legal consequences.
"Any further death of an innocent person due to the Chinese manjha shall be considered as dereliction of duty, " the court said. The counsel for the petitioner submitted that all these deaths of bikers were caused due to slit of the throat by the Chinese manjha. (with ANI inputs)
