Amit Shah trapped inside lift in Patna
Patna, Aug 21 (IBNS) BJP president Amit Shah got stuck in an elevator at the state guest house in Patna late Thursday night, reports said.
Shah, along with his party's Bihar in-charge Bhupendra Yadav and Sudan Singh remained locked inside the lift for around 20 minutes.
CRPF personnel had to rip apart the steel doors of the elevator to rescue them.
"Shah was feeling suffocated and there was no help in sight. The security personnel did well to break open the lift," Bihar BJP president Mangal Pandey said.
Shah, who came to Patna on Thursday to participate in a forum organised by a vernacular daily, was staying at the state guest house.
He returned to Delhi on Friday morning.
