A 59-year-old man was rescued on Monday morning after being stuck inside a hospital lift for two consecutive days in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram, police said.
The incident came to light when the lift was operated for routine work, officials added. The victim has been identified as Ravindran Nair, a resident of Ulloor, who was stuck inside the lift of the OP Block at the government medical college since Saturday.
“He got into the lift to go to the first floor but claims that the lift came down and did not open. He says he shouted for help but no one came. His phone was also switched off,” police said, PTI reported.
On the other hand, the man’s family filed a missing person report with the medical college police on Sunday night.
Police said the man had visited the hospital for a medical checkup.
