Mumbai: A 46-year-old director of a retail chain was crushed to death under a lift after he stepped into its shaft in the Worli area here, police said on Monday, September 7.
“The incident took place on Sunday evening when Vishal Mewani, who was the director of Kohinoor Electronics, went to meet his friend in the two-story Buena Vista building in Worli,” a police official said.
He called for the lift but stepped into its shaft after opening the lift channel.
