Police said Surendra Bhupendra Jadhav was sitting on the motorcycle which was driven by his elder brother Rakesh when he sustained deep cut in his neck by a kite string on Ayodhyanagar link road in Shravan Chowkadi area at around 6 pm. He was rushed to civil hospital where he succumbed. The deceased youth was a resident of Lahori Godam locality in the city.
