On October 10, 2026, in Gorakhpur, 35-year-old Ramesh Kanojia died after his throat was slit by a Chinese manja. The next day, Sunil Gujarati also lost his life in Varanasi in a similar manner. In both cases, a case of non-culpable homicide was registered against unknown individuals. Now, let's go back 8 months... February 2026, 33-year-old Mohammad Shoaib died in Lucknow after a Chinese manja got stuck in his throat. Less than 24 hours had passed when former soldier Brijesh Rai also died in Lucknow.
