An 11-year-old boy lost his life in a tragic lift accident in Pimpri-Chinchwad’s Chovisawadi area on Thursday evening. The young boy became trapped in a lift between the third and fourth floors of a residential building, where he remained stuck for over three hours before the rescue team could reach him. Unfortunately, the injuries he sustained led to his death.
The deceased has been identified as Amey Sahebrao Phadtare, a resident of Ramsmruti Housing Society, Chovisawadi. An Accidental Death Report (ADR) has been registered at the Dighi Police Station, confirmed Senior Police Inspector Pramod Wagh, the officer in charge of the station.

A fire brigade official described the critical nature of the rescue operation: “It was observed at the scene that an 11-year-old boy was trapped between the 3rd and 4th floors. Both his legs were on the third floor while the lift was struggling to move upwards. We broke the lock of the lift room door and turned off the electric supply.”
Following this, the fire brigade personnel together with the Pimpri-Chinchwad Disaster Management team acted swiftly. They carefully brought the lift down and successfully rescued the boy.
Amey was immediately admitted to the nearby KK Hospital, where doctors commenced treatment. Despite their best efforts, the boy was declared dead shortly after arrival.
