A lift operator was allegedly killed by the son of a businessman at a plaza in Gol Kachehri Bazaar, police said.

According to the case police registered on the complaint by Manzoor Hussain, a resident of Weaver Colony No. 2, the complainant told the police that his nephew Owais, who had been a lift operator at a plaza, was on duty on the day of the incident.

Meanwhile, Zain, son of a businessman, boarded the lift and started abusing his nephew for not having greeted him formally.

He said that his nephew had been operating the lift in the evening when Zain, Anees and others appeared and allegedly abused his nephew. They asked him why he hadn’t treated Zain according to his status.
