Kasargod, Mar 19: A little girl lost her life while playing on a makeshift swing at Pavoor near Manjeshwar here on Sunday March 19.
The deceased has been identified as Ashwita (10), daughter of Harish, a resident of Pavoor.
Ashwita was a 5th standard student of Udyavargudde government school.
It is said that Ashwita had created a swing out of a saree by tying it to a tree near her house. While swinging on it, the knot tightened around her neck, strangling her.
The family, on noticing her struggling for breath, rushed to her rescue and took her to a hospital in Mangaluru, but she could not be saved.
