A man allegedly disrupted the lift operations at a residential building in Mumbai’s upscale Pali Hill area by placing heavy stones inside it, prompting the local authorities to intervene.

The incident occurred in the early hours of June 19 at Sandhu Palace, a multi-storey building in Bandra West that houses several prominent Bollywood personalities, including actors Kriti Sanon and Javed Jaffrey.

According to police and building security, the man arrived in a yellow car around 1 am and claimed he was visiting a flat on the 17th floor.

Guards allowed him entry after confirming with a flat owner earlier that visitors should be let in directly. He was initially directed to park in Basement 2, but first left his car in Basement 1 before being redirected.

Security personnel reported that the man then gave his car keys to a guard and said he needed to use the washroom.

Upon returning, he stated he was heading to the 14th floor. When the guard attempted to reach the flat’s occupant via intercom and received no response, the visitor abruptly changed his claim, saying he was going to the 17th floor.

Suspicious of his inconsistent statements, guards confronted the man and escorted him out of the premises.

The next morning, the building’s elevator was found to be non-functional. Review of CCTV footage revealed that the man had placed large stones inside the lift cabin and made inappropriate gestures toward the security camera.

It is believed the act was carried out while he was unaccompanied in the basement, under the pretext of visiting the restroom.

Using the vehicle’s registration number, police were able to identify the individual.

Authorities noted that preliminary findings suggest the man may be mentally unwell. He is currently receiving treatment at a hospital and has not yet been questioned.

The Khar police have registered a case under Sections 324(2) and 324(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which pertain to voluntarily causing hurt using dangerous means.
