A 12-year-old boy dies after falling from a height in a lift-shaft area of his building in Mumbai while playing hide-and-seek, according to reports. The incident occurs in the Kurla area. The child allegedly falls through an open lift door/into the lift shaft from the 10th floor as he plays with friends. Officials are examining the circumstances, including how the lift door remained open during the game. NDTV reports that the incident is captured on CCTV cameras installed in the building, and that the footage is being reviewed as part of the investigation. News18 also notes that an investigation is still underway, without detailing further findings. No additional information about charges, building ownership responsibility, or safety checks is provided in the two accounts. The focus of the current inquiry is determining the sequence of events leading to the fall and whether any lapses in building or lift safety contributed to the death.
