In an unfortunate incident on Wednesday, January 17, a security guard named Mahender Goud got stuck in the lift of the Kotagalli shopping complex in the Nizamabad district of Telangana. Mahender, who works for the nearby HDFC Bank, found himself in a life-threatening situation as his upper body got trapped inside the lift while both his legs remained outside.
Struggling to breathe freely as his body was squeezed between the wall and the lift, Mahender screamed for help. The locals responded quickly, and the fire brigade was called to the scene for the rescue. After being stuck for over an hour, Mahender was eventually freed and subsequently shifted to Nizamabad Government Hospital for treatment.
