Woman dies as lift suddenly moves with gate open at apartment in Andhra Pradesh's Ongole
The victim, Vanitha, had entered the elevator with her daughter and grandson, and the three were travelling together to their floor.
In a tragic incident at an apartment complex in Ongole, Andhra Pradesh, a woman named Vanitha died when the elevator suddenly moved with its gate open while she was inside. Vanitha, her daughter, and her grandson were traveling together in the lift when the accident occurred. After the lift reached their floor, her daughter and grandson exited, but Vanitha remained trapped as the lift began to move downward with the gate still open.
Despite efforts from her daughter to push the gate and call for help, Vanitha was unable to escape and sustained severe injuries. She was promptly taken to the hospital for treatment but passed away from her injuries. The incident has sparked concerns about the safety and maintenance of elevators in residential buildings, as a similar occurrence happened recently with Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who also got stuck in a lift before being successfully rescued by fire and rescue services.
