VASAI: Secretary of Maharashtra Pradesh and MLC Pravin Darekar, Vasai MLA Sneha Dubey-Pandit and Nalasopara MLA Rajan Naik were stuck in a lift for a brief moment of around 10 minutes after it got stuck mid-way. It has been alleged that the lift systems gave-away as the lift was overloaded. In the video, one could count 8 people emerging out of the lift, while a few more were about to exit the lift. Along with the leaders, a couple of cops and party workers were seen in the lift, thwarting all safety norms. The video also shows a cop and another person using iron rods to break open the lift door. Darekar drank water the moment he exited the lift and looked stressed due to this episode. The Vasai BJP MLA Sneha Dubey Pandit had organised an awareness seminar, in Vasai west on Sunday late afternoon, on self redevelopment of housing societies and Darekar was chief guest of this event.
