The Bhat family's summer trip to Mahabaleshwar ended in a hair-raising mishap. Their daughter Kanan, 12, met with a horrific accident while enjoying a go-carting ride, where she lost over half of the skin on her scalp when her hair got entangled in the motor of the vehicle she was in. While the family has alleged that the incident occurred due to the negligence of the go kart operator, the owner of the establishment has flatly denied any responsibility for the mishap.

Speaking to mid-day, Kanan's father Nilesh Bhat said, "As the summer vacations are going on, our family had gone to Mahabaleshwar. My daughter wanted to take a ride at a go-carting facility there. Before she went for the ride, I asked her to tie up her long hair and then wear the helmet. But, the unprofessional staff at the facility asked my daughter to let her hair down and wear the helmet." The ride started around 4-4.30 pm on Monday. The Bhat family said nothing happened in the first two laps, but in the third one, Kanan's hair got entangled in the motor, leaving everyone shocked.
