A tragic incident took place in the Kasba area of Kolkata, as a woman doctor lost her life and her husband was critically injured due to a broken lift in their nursing home on Monday. The doctor couple, Anirban Mitra and Dr. Chaitali Mitra, owned a nursing home in the town of Rajdanga.
According to reports, the elevator suddenly broke down while descending, resulting in serious injuries to the couple. They were immediately taken to a nearby hospital, where Dr. Chaitali Mitra succumbed to her injuries late at night. Meanwhile, Anirban Mitra's condition remains critical.
The incident has caused a stir in the nursing home, and the police have launched an investigation into the matter. Initially, it was suspected that the lift broke down due to a mechanical fault, but the exact cause of the malfunction is yet to be determined.
