What began as an innocent game of kabaddi turned into a nightmare late Wednesday night, when two boys aged 11 fell from the third floor into a lift shaft of a residential building in Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar SRA CHS Ltd in Goregaon West’s Mitha Nagar area. The incident occurred around 10 pm at the R-1 Building, leaving one child battling for life.

According to preliminary information, Vignesh Mahatre and Rudhra Susvirkar were playing kabaddi with other children in a passage near the lift. During the game, the boys accidentally collided with the lift’s grill, causing its lower portion to break off and the entire frame to give way inward, and both children plunged straight into the duct.
