The incident happened on April 12 at a clinic in the Indirapuram area of Ghaziabad, India. Late at night, the thief, referred to as Mr. A, attempted to break into a clinic operated by Dr. Pawan Sharma by forcefully lifting the shutter and trying to enter. He tried to access the inside by descending from the building’s rooftop, but lost his footing, which led to the accident.

Mr. A got stuck in the narrow gap between the shutter and the wall, and especially his neck was caught in the gap, leaving him unable to free himself. As a result, he had to endure being suspended in midair for over six hours until the next day. Isolated for a long time, he eventually called for help loudly, which alerted nearby residents who then notified authorities.

Upon receiving the report, the fire department immediately dispatched personnel to the scene and conducted a rescue operation using specialized equipment. Mr. A was successfully rescued, and footage of the rescue quickly spread online, drawing significant attention. Before being handed over to the police, Mr. A was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. Medical staff stated that his current condition is stable, but noted that a further delay in the rescue could have put his life at risk. Police investigations confirmed that Mr. A is a minor, though he was unable to provide a clear statement regarding the exact time of the attempted crime. Meanwhile, the clinic’s operator has not yet filed an official complaint.
