Bengaluru: Gold artisan dies after being trapped between lift-wall
Bengaluru: A 52-year-old gold artisan in Bengaluru tragically lost his life after being trapped between an elevator and its shaft wall. The incident occurred at HJS Chambers on Richmond Road around 12.30 pm on Tuesday.
Lakshman Pramanik, a resident of Cubbonpet who had been working at the building for 26 years, was attempting to enter the lift when the doors closed prematurely, trapping him as the lift ascended. Pramanik became wedged between the elevator and the shaft wall, with the right side of his body inside the lift and the rest outside. Despite efforts by his colleagues to attract attention, the lift continued moving up, causing him immense pain.
Fire and emergency services, along with a doctor from a nearby hospital, arrived at the scene shortly after. The elevator was eventually opened using a gas welder, and Pramanik was extricated after more than an hour. He was rushed to Vydehi Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Pramanik is survived by his wife and two sons. The Ashoknagar police have registered a case under section 109 (Causing death due to negligence) of the Indian Penal Code, and are investigating the incident. Authorities plan to question the building owner, Nissar Ahmed, and the maintenance manager, Imran.
