The domestic helpers would have never thought that taking a lift could be troublesome for them while going to work.

After the lift stopped, the women pressed the emergency button, but they could not get any help. The incident is said to have happened on Sunday morning, on June 23.
The guards reached the location and tried to open the lift’s door, but their bare hands weren’t enough to split open the doors.
