Ghaziabad’s Indirapuram witnessed a thief’s audacious plan backfire spectacularly when he got hopelessly jammed in a clinic’s rolling shutter while trying to steal. The Saturday noon drama in Abhay Khand ended with fire services pulling off a flawless rescue, turning potential tragedy into a tale of quick thinking.
The emergency call came in at approximately 1:15 PM to Vaishali Fire Station: a man trapped inside a medical facility. Responders raced to the location, arriving to find Abhishek, a Bihar native, suspended in a nightmarish position—his body squeezed between unyielding metal and concrete, neck at severe risk.
Details emerged that the young man had sneaked onto the roof under cover of darkness, aiming to ransack the clinic. As he rappelled down, equilibrium failed him, propelling him into the tight space where he dangled helplessly until discovery.
The fire team sprang into action with precision equipment, carefully prying apart the shutter without aggravating his predicament. Team leader directed the effort, prioritizing the victim’s airway and stability throughout the delicate procedure.
Successfully extracted after intense efforts, Abhishek was immediately transferred to police custody. Interrogation continues as officers build a case. This unusual episode underscores how crime can ensnare the perpetrator in unexpected ways, while praising the rescuers’ expertise.
