Jabalpur (Madhya Pradesh): A trip to 'nani ka ghar' turned into a nightmare for a 4-year-old in Madhya Pradesh's Jabalpur. The child was playing at the platform of Jabalpur railway station while waiting for the train with his family when his leg got stuck in the elevator.
The child remained stuck in the elevator for at least 40 minutes as the family waited for help. Though as he cried, other passengers on the platform rushed to check him. It's only after 40 to 45 minutes that the railway administration, GRP, and a technician team reached the spot. They rescued the child and took him to a hospital for treatment.
