Manjha Sellers Keep It Going Despite Ban
New Delhi: Investigations into recent seizures of Chinese manjha revealed a worrying surge in the covert sale of this banned and dangerous kite string across various markets in the city, especially as Independence Day approached—a time when kite flying reaches a high. Despite the ban, sellers found new ways every year to evade law enforcement authorities while continuing the trade. During the recent crackdowns, police found that Chinese manjha was being sold discreetly using code words and through advance bookings. The string was delivered to buyers at pre-decided locations to avoid detection. According to police sources, sellers communicated with potential buyers through encrypted messaging apps or platforms like WhatsApp. In some cases, specific code names were used to refer to Chinese manjha in online chats. So far, Delhi Police has seized over 1,500 reels of this lethal thread. "After crackdowns begin every year, sellers often shift operations online. They use code words and encrypted apps to communicate. We've seen cases where buyers and sellers interact and decide drop-off points through messages to stay anonymous," said an investigator. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

"Before fulfilling an order, the supplier often conducts a recce of the buyer to confirm his identity and ensure that he isn't part of a police trap. Only after verifying that the person is genuine, the delivery is made." Each Chinese manjha spool costs anywhere between Rs 700 and Rs 2,000, depending on demand and availability. Buyers are often asked to pay extra for delivery. One of the crackdowns occurred in June when a team led by inspector Sunil Kumar Kalkhande, under the supervision of DCP (crime) Vikram Singh, found 1,170 reels of Chinese manjha from Kamla Market and Jeevan Park in Uttam Nagar. Two persons were arrested. In separate operations, 325 reels were seized from northeast Delhi's Nand Nagri and 31 from Gokalpuri. In June, a youth on a scooter was killed in north Delhi when his throat was slit by a Chinese manjha on Rani Jhansi Road in north Delhi's Bara Hindu Rao. The deceased was identified as 22-year-old Yash Goswami, a spare parts business owner. In another incident, a two-wheeler rider was injured after his face came in contact with a kite string on the Shastri Park flyover in east Delhi.
