The incident happened when the 33-year-old victim was returning to his apartment on the 16th floor.

When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
Last night, Jafri said that CCTV footage showed that only the suspect and the victim were in the lift at the time of the incident.

He added that the case was being investigated for voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means under Section 324 of the Penal Code.
