Amusement park tragedies in India
Previously, in December last year, a malfunction at a fair in India's Uttar Pradesh left a 13-year-old girl dangling 60 feet (18.29 metres) from the ground.
In Rakheti, Uttar Pradesh, the teenager fell out of a Ferris wheel pod as the ride experienced a sudden jolt. An investigation later found that the Ferris wheel did not have the required permits.
Before that, in November 2024, the hair of a girl got entangled in a Ferris wheel's rods.
