Mumbai: In a shocking incident, a video from Mumbai's Dadar Railway Station showing an elevator stranded due to severe overcrowding of passengers is going viral on social media. Despite the elevator being full, passengers continued to squeeze in, and none of the extra passengers agreed to step out.
The video, shared by Metro Mumbai Live, showed that even after the elevator reached maximum capacity, commuters continued to force their way in, ignoring repeated requests to step back. In the video, a commuter urged others to come out so the lift could function again. He is heard saying, “Koi bahar aane mein razi nahi hai. Please come out, 2 minute mein lift wapas aa jayegi.”
In the video, several people are also seen shouting at others for not listening, and after several attempts, the elevator door finally closed. According to the Mid Day report, a group of commuters were reportedly left stranded for nearly 15 minutes.
It is currently unclear at what time of day the incident occurred, however, Dadar Railway Station is a key connector between the Western and Central lines and experiences huge crowds throughout the day.
