Lift Operator Assaulted After Elevator Incident in Gurugram SocietyPreviousNext

On June 9, four men were trapped for seven minutes in a stalled elevator at Signature Orchard Society's L Tower in Gurugram. When the lift restarted and opened, the men verbally abused lift operator Gaurav, who retreated for safety. They later returned with two associates and assaulted him with sticks, causing severe injuries including permanent loss of sight in one eye. A complaint was filed, but a formal police case is pending as investigations continue.
