NEW DELHI: Two days after a man and his five-year-old niece got entangled in kite string and fell off the Badarpur flyover, the girl died of her injuries on Saturday. Dipti had suffered severe head injuries and fractures in the fall on Thursday when she was on a motorcycle with her uncle, Mohan, on their way to Faridabad to meet some relatives.
Police said that Mohan felt the razor sharp manjha around his neck as he rode up the flyover and in a desperate bid to remove it, he tried to grab the kite string and jerk it off both their bodies around which it had got entangled.
In doing so, he lost control of the motorcycle and they hit the side barrier of the flyover. The impact threw Mohan and his niece off the flyover to land several metres below near a pillar.
The commuters who witnessed the two falling immediately rushed to the aid of the injured 33-year-old and the girl and took them to Apollo Hospital. The cops were subsequently alerted about the accident.
When the police team reached the spot, they found the Enfield Bullet motorcycle lying at one end of the flyover. The traffic movement was affected due to the congestion on the flyover and additional police staff had to be deployed to normalise the traffic.
While Mohan gained consciousness after some time, Dipti remained in a critical condition and was undergoing intensive care at the hospital. Based on Mohan’s statement, a case has been registered at Badarpur police station against unknown persons.
The five-year-old lived in west Delhi’s Inderpuri along with her parents. Two days before the accident, she had come to her uncle’s house while they prepared for a wedding in the family that is scheduled to take place in a few days.
