In a rare incident, a minor girl received serious injuries on her skull after her hair got struck in the groove of a go-kart while she was enjoying the ride at Joyland amusement park. The park is located near Mall Road in the Cantonment area. Her scalp was ripped from her head.

As per information, she was immediately rushed to a private hospital, where her condition was stated to be serious.

Additional SHO of the area Jaswant Singh said in the late evening hours, they received information that an eight-year-old girl was injured in an accident at the amusement park and the eyewitnesses claimed that the father of the child was driving the go-kart. Meanwhile, no written complaint was registered by her parents.

Singh further said due to the long hair of the girl, the pony tail got struck in the uncovered part of the vehicle and she fell down. Notably, the go-cart service in the amusement park is being run by a private company and no such incident was reported in the past.

The police said any negligence on the part of management also did not surface as no complaint was filed by the victim’s family.
