A video showing a young man urinating inside a residential elevator in Ghaziabad has sparked widespread outrage after CCTV video from a high-rise housing society surfaced on social media. The incident took place at the Shipra Krishna Vista Society in Indirapuram’s Ahimsa Khand-1 area, with residents expressing deep concern over public hygiene, vandalism, and unruly conduct within shared residential spaces.
The closed-circuit camera footage captured inside the F-2 tower elevator shows the man deliberately urinating towards the elevator’s control panel buttons, News18 reported. At one point during the ride, the elevator stops and the doors open, revealing a person waiting outside. After noticing the act unfolding inside, the waiting individual abruptly steps back rather than entering the lift. The young man is seen continuing his journey before exiting the lift on his floor.

CCTV Helps Society Identify Person Behind Incident
The incident came to light after multiple residents noticed a strong, foul smell emanating from the lift carriage and lodged complaints with the society's Apartment Owners’ Association (AOA) and the facility management team.
Upon reviewing the CCTV recordings installed inside the lift car, maintenance personnel identified the sequence of events. The footage was subsequently circulated among society groups and social media platforms, triggering demands for strict action against those misusing common utilities.

Residents Raise Questions Over Hygiene in Shared Spaces
The episode has renewed serious concerns regarding sanitation and basic etiquette in multi-storey residential complexes. In high-rise apartment towers, elevators serve as critical, enclosed spaces utilized continuously throughout the day by children, elderly citizens, domestic staff, and visitors.
Urinating inside a confined elevator not only produces persistent odours but also creates serious biohazard contamination across flooring and electrical control interfaces, requiring extensive chemical disinfection. The footage also led to tongue-in-cheek commentary online, with users sardonically questioning whether residential lifts now need dedicated urinals or modified bylaws to ensure basic civic discipline.
What Safety Features Should a Residential Lift Have?
Modern residential elevators are engineered primarily for the safe, vertical movement of occupants and typically incorporate several critical safety mechanisms:
-
Monitoring and Alarms: Built-in CCTV surveillance, emergency alarm push-buttons, and two-way intercom communication systems connected directly to security control rooms.
-
Operational Sensors: Multi-beam infrared door sensors to prevent closing on passengers, automatic rescue devices (ARD) for power failures, and overload sensors to halt operations beyond rated capacity.
-
Proper User Protocols: Safety authorities advise residents never to obstruct closing doors, tamper with electrical operating panels, or attempt to force open doors during stoppages, urging passengers instead to rely on the emergency call system.
Following the circulation of the clip, residents have urged local management bodies and enforcement authorities to formulate strict penalties for intentional damage to shared high-rise infrastructure.
