A six-year-old boy, Arnav, tragically died in a Hyderabad hospital on Saturday, a day after becoming trapped in an elevator at a residential building. On Friday, Arnav, the son of Ajay Kumar from Aghapura, had accompanied his grandfather to his aunt’s apartment in Red Hills.
While his grandfather was carrying luggage, Arnav opened the elevator’s grille and stepped inside. As the grandfather attempted to load the luggage, the elevator unexpectedly began to ascend. Startled, Arnav tried to exit but became trapped between the elevator car and the shaft wall. The elevator stopped between the ground and first floors.
