Investigators say the victim issued differing accounts about how the wound occurred<\/p>\n
\n \n LAHORE: <\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/p>\n
A 22-year-old man was injured in Lahore\u2019s Green Town area on Sunday in an incident initially reported as a suspected kite-string injury, amid growing vigilance as the Basant season approaches.<\/p>\n
The injured man, identified as Owais, was travelling to work on a motorcycle when his throat was wounded. He was shifted to Jinnah Hospital, where he was provided medical assistance and later admitted to the surgical ward. Hospital officials said his condition was stable.<\/p>\n
The case initially raised concern over the possible resurgence of hazardous kite-flying practices, which have historically resulted in serious and fatal incidents in the provincial capital.<\/p>\n
However, Lahore police later said preliminary findings did not support claims that the injury was caused by a kite string.<\/p>\n
