Ludhiana, Jan. 26 -- Ludhiana saw its second death in two days from banned Chinese kite strings on Sunday evening when a 35-year-old woman died after her throat was slit by a plastic kite string while riding her scooter on Raikot Road, Mullanpur Dakha, a day after a 15-year-old boy was killed and his cousin seriously injured in a similar incident.

According to eyewitnesses, the plastic thread, flying in the wind, wrapped around Sarabjit Kaur's neck near a gurdwara, causing her to lose control and fall.
