A 59-year-old man, who was trapped inside a hospital lift for the past two days, was rescued on Monday morning after the lift was operated for routine maintenance, according to police sources.

Ulloor resident Ravindran Nair (59) had been stuck inside the lift of the OP Block at the government medical college since Saturday, officials said.

"He got into the lift to go to the first floor but claims that the lift descended and did not open. He says he shouted for help but no one responded. His phone was also switched off," police stated.

The incident came to light on Monday morning when the lift operator started it for routine work, officials added.

Nair's family had filed a missing case with the medical college police on Sunday night after being unable to contact him.

Police reported that Nair had visited the hospital for a medical checkup.
