A tragic incident unfolded in the city as a four-and-half-year-old boy lost his life after being trapped in a lift at a private men's hostel. The incident, which marks the second such occurrence in a month, happened on Wednesday night, according to police at Asif Nagar Station.

The young victim's parents, who hail from Nepal, have been residing at the building for the past four months, with his father working as a watchman. The boy was discovered by his mother and local residents, stuck in the lift between the ground and first floors. Despite efforts to rescue him and transport him to a hospital, the child was pronounced dead upon arrival.
