The fire brigade rescued the trapped persons and sent them to the Shatabdi hospital, where Shubham Madamlal Dhuri, 30, was declared brought dead. The other, Sunjeet Yadav, 45, was reported to be in stable condition. Yadav suffered head injuries and was referred to have a CT scan taken.

“It is still unclear what happened, as we are still investigating,” said an additional divisional fire officer in charge at the spot. “It was an under-construction building, and the workers were probably working at it when the car lift collapsed into the underground pit, crushing them underneath it. The worker that survived is not in the condition to talk.”

The MHB Colony police said they would file an FIR against the parking lift contractor.
