The police said that one of the boys saved himself, but Rehansh Borse did not see the string, and his bicycle was travelling at full speed, and he came into contact with the kite string.
The apartment residents took him to a private hospital in Rander town, but the doctors declared him dead on arrival.
R J Chaudhary, Police Inspector, Rander, said, “Rehansh is the only son of Anmol Borse, who works in the AM/NS company at Hazira and hails from the Dhulia district in Maharashtra. His father was on the job when the incident took place and reached the hospital after learning about the incident. The kite string had cut Rehansh’s neck and throat deeply, which led to loss of blood, causing his death.”
