Girl dies after being hit by lift in a freak accident

A 12-year-old girl died after being hit by a descending lift at a building in suburban Bandra East, police said today.
The incident occurred at Ashiyana Apartment last evening.
Kunot Asif Zaveri, the victim, was waiting for the lift on the third floor with one of her relatives.
The grill door of the lift shaft had a gaping hole through which she stuck her neck in, trying to see if the lift was coming, thinking it to be on a lower floor.
However, the lift, which was on the sixth floor, came down before she had the chance to pull out her head, and hit her.

"She was taken to a hospital where she succumbed during the treatment due to heavy bleeding," said senior inspector Vasudeo Jamdade of Nirmal Nagar police station.
"We have registered accidental death report. Further investigation is on," Jamdade said.
