LUCKNOW: A 45-year-old man died after he fell down from the second floor while coming out of a lift in Sarojiniagar on Sunday evening.
According to the police, the deceased Gokul Gupta was a native of Unnao and worked in a gutkha factory in Nadarganj industrial area. He lived with his family in the same locality. “Around 6.30pm, Gokul and his supervisor Akash went to the third floor of the factory for some work. They got into the lift on their way back. When they reached the second floor, the lift stopped due to a technical snag. Gokul opened the channel gate of the lift to come out. However, he lost control and fell down on the ground from a height of around 30 feet. He suffered serious injuries and died on the spot,” said SHO (Sarojininagar) Anand Shahi.
