It was a harrowing experience for a family of six members who got stuck in a lift late at night on Sunday in Greater Noida’s Senior Citizen Society.
Family had returned from Vrindavan
The incident reportedly occurred at 3:30 am when the family returned from Vrindavan. All members entered the lift to reach their flat on the second floor.
The lift suddenly got stuck due to overloading, and all family members were trapped.
After receiving no help, the family dialed 112
They started screaming but to no avail. At last, they called the cops at 112, which responded and rushed to the society. The cops pushed hard to open the door of the lift and helped the members in getting them out.
Police rescued them all with the effort. One of the members said, “We got stuck in the lift for more than 45 minutes.”
Man died of heart attack after his 8-yr-old son stuck in lift
In the last week of May, a 51-year-old man died of a heart attack in Madhya Pradesh’s capital Bhopal after his eight-year-old son was stuck in an elevator (lift) due to sudden power cut, an official said.
The incident was reported in Jatkhedi locality under the jurisdiction of Misrod police station in the city on Monday night (May 26). The man who died was identified as Rishiraj Bhatnagar, he lived here on the third floor of an apartment in the locality with his wife and two sons.
Power outage led the man to suffer a panic attack
On the night of the incident, the man came downstairs and found his younger son there. He then asked him to go home and the boy took the elevator but moments later, there was a power outage, leading the man to suffer a panic attack and die. The power of the building was, however, restored within a couple of minutes and the child came out of the elevator safely.
