Hyderabad: A 68-year-old man died after he accidentally slipped and fell into a lift pit at Addagutta in Tukaramgate on Tuesday afternoon, July 2. The victim has been identified as D V Venkat Narasaiah, a resident of Boduppal. He had come to his relative’s house to attend a memorial service at an apartment complex where the incident occurred.
