The danger from nylon ropes continues this year, causing serious injuries. On December 4, around afternoon, a 3-year-old boy’s throat was cut by a nylon rope while he was riding a bike with his parents to visit Khandoba in Satara. The child received more than 20 stitches and is currently in the ICU.
The boy, Swaransh Jadhav (Harsul), was sitting in front of his parents on a bike. At Central square, a nylon rope suddenly appeared. Swaransh’s father, Sanjeev, tried to push the rope away, but Swaransh’s throat was cut within seconds, causing heavy bleeding. He was rushed to MGM Hospital, where surgeons performed emergency surgery and stitched the wound. The ICU is currently providing treatment.
