Islamabad High Court Lift Crashes

A lift at Islamabad High Court collapsed during maintenance work, seriously injuring the operator, Wajid. The incident occurred when the lift's door malfunctioned, causing it to plummet from the third floor to the ground floor. Wajid sustained a fractured hip and was promptly rushed to the hospital for treatment. Islamabad High Court's Chief Justice, Sarfraz Dogar, visited the hospital to assess Wajid's condition.

This unfortunate event is not an isolated case; a similar lift collapse happened on February 6, 2025, when a lift descended from the second floor to the ground floor with seven individuals inside, including lawyers. However, all occupants were successfully evacuated by maintenance staff using a key. Earlier, on August 25, 2023, senior lawyer Latif Khosa and 16 colleagues were trapped in a malfunctioning lift for over 30 minutes before being rescued.
