A 22-year-old man got firsthand experience of just how dangerous gutkha can be, literally. On Sunday, Prakash Singh was travelling to Rajasthan from Pune on a luxury bus. The bus was on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, when he leaned far out of the window to spit out the gutkha he was chewing.

He suddenly lost balance and fell out of the moving bus, badly injuring himself. He was admitted to MGM Hospital at Kamothe. The police said, "The window Singh was leaning out of was huge, so he lost balance and fell."
