Five people, including a couple, were injured after a lift collapsed in a hotel located on Golf Course Road in the Sushant Lokar area. The injured were admitted to a private hospital for treatment. Four days after the incident, the police registered an FIR in the case.

In her complaint, Manjari said she had gone to Hotel Zen Suites in Sector 43 with her husband. “When we were coming down in the lift, it suddenly jerked on the third floor and fell straight into the basement and besides us, three others got injured. The accident occurred due to negligence of the hotel management and lack of maintenance of the lift,” she said.

Upon receiving information, a police team reached the hospital. The injured were identified as Kunal, Manjari, Priyank, Vaibhav and Shrey.

An FIR was registered. A senior police official said they were investigating the matter and action would be taken as per the law.

On the other hand, the hotel management staff said the accident happened as the lift was overloaded.
