A tense moment unfolded at a housing society in the Dighi area of Pimpri-Chinchwad when a toddler girl’s hand got trapped in a lift door, an incident that was captured on CCTV and has since gone viral on social media.
Lift mishap caught on camera
According to available information, the incident occurred while residents were using the elevator in the building as usual.
Two young girls had entered the lift along with family members when the accident took place. As the elevator door began to open, one of the girls extended her hand toward the door.
Moments later, the lift door retracted and her hand got stuck in the door mechanism, triggering panic among those present.
Residents rush to rescue the child
Residents quickly noticed the situation and immediately stopped the lift to prevent further harm.
Several people gathered around and tried to carefully free the child’s hand from the door. After a few minutes of effort, they managed to safely pull her hand out.
Fortunately, according to available information, the child did not suffer any serious injuries.
Video sparks safety debate online
The CCTV footage of the incident has since circulated widely across social media platforms, attracting attention and discussion from viewers.

The incident has once again highlighted the need for increased awareness about elevator safety, especially in residential complexes where children frequently use lifts.
