UP Girl's hair gets entangled in swing's rod; scalp ripped off

In a horrifying incident at a fair in Kannauj, Uttar Pradesh, a teenage girl's hair became entangled in the roller of a swing, resulting in her entire scalp being ripped out.

The chilling moment, captured on video, shows the girl's hair and scalp hanging from the swing's rod as bystanders rushed to stop the ferris wheel.

A video of the incident went viral on social media on Monday, showing that the entire scalp had been torn off by the time the swing halted, leaving her in a critical condition.

The accident, which occurred on Saturday evening in Madhonagar village under the Talgram police station area, left the young girl, identified as 13-year-old Anuradha Katheria, bleeding profusely from her head wounds before she fainted on the spot.

In a rush, her family initially took her to a nearby private hospital in Gursahaiganj, however, as her condition worsened, she was transferred to PGI in Lucknow for further treatment.

Every year, under the auspices of Shri Shri 1008 Swami Nityananda Seva Samiti, a two-day fair is organised in Madhonagar, featuring puja ceremonies, processions, and various swing rides set up for visitors.
