India, Aug. 2 -- Following the tragic death of a 36-year-old medical representative whose throat was slit by Chinese Manjha in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath issued strict orders in February this year: register murder cases for all Manjha-related fatalities in the state, and hold local officials accountable for failing to curb the sale of the lethal kite string.

The victim, Mohammad Shoeb, a resident of Dubagga, was riding his motorbike toward old city area of Lucknow when he met with the fatal accident. Also, the Chief Minister had directed authorities to execute state-wide crackdowns to enforce a total ban on the string's sale and initiate severe legal action against violators.
