A 12-year-old boy plunged to his death from the eighth floor of a residential building in Saddar on Saturday, in an elevator accident that highlighted poor building safety regulations in the city, Geo News reported.
The tragic accident happened at an apartment complex, where 12-year-old Zain had been waiting for the elevator on the eighth floor. Police reports said Zain fell around 80 feet to his death as the elevator doors opened without the lift arriving at the eighth floor.
Police said three to four elevators were not working in the building, whose administration has been called to the police station. Police added this was the second such accident in a span of three months. A resident said the only functional elevator of the building was in a dilapidated condition.
