A nightmarish video showing a man being literally devoured by an escalator at an underground Metro station has resurfaced on the internet and is going viral on social media.

The shocking CCTV video, which according to reports, is from an incident that took place at Ayazaga Metro station in Istanbul, Turkey in February 2018, shows a man walking down the escalator along with other commuters, when suddenly a huge gaping hole appeared beneath his feet and swallowed him.

The man steps onto the escalator, takes a few steps, when suddenly the escalator starts malfunctioning and a huge gape appears beneath his feet. He tries to hold on to the handrail but to no avail as he’s sucked into the hole.

The victim, Mehmet Ali Erik, reportedly spent over an hour caught inside the escalator’s mechanisms as other commuters tried and failed to free him.

Reports said that firefighters finally arrived on the scene and managed to save him from a grotesque fate. He was then rushed to a local hospital for medical attention.

According to Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IBB), the broken escalator was marked with a warning notice, however, many commuters can still be seen using it.

The video has been widely shared on Twitter with some users saying the footage instilled fear of escalators among them.

One user wrote: “From now on I’m using the stairs.”

“Escalators in some countries actually resemble a meat grinding machine. Poor maintenance and disregard for safety,” rued another user.

Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha raised strong objections to the viral namaz video and threatened to recite Sunderkand inside the mall. If Namaz is offered again in the mall, then Sundarkand will also be recited in the mall, Shishir Chaturvedi, the Hindu Mahasabha spokesperson said.

The highly active right-wing organisation has issued a letter opposing the offering of Namaz inside the mall.

In its letter, the Hindu Mahasabha spokesperson Shishir Chaturvedi has made many serious allegations including Love Jihad against Lulu Mall in Lucknow. The government should follow its earlier orders, under which prayers cannot be offered in public places, the Hindu Mahasabha demanded in its letter to the mall authority.

Urging Hindus to boycott the mall, the Chaturvedi has claimed that a huge amount of black money has been spent on the construction of Lulu Mall in Lucknow.

Denying the namaz video, the Lulu mall authority said the management is trying hard to identify the people who have seen offering Namaz in the video. Further action will be taken as per company policy, the authority said.

Located on Amar Shaheed Path, the Lulu Mall has spread over 2.2 million sq ft. It has 15 fine dining restaurants and cafes, and a massive food court with a seating capacity of 1,600 people can sit together. Apart from this, the 11-screen PVR Superflex is also going to start soon.
