Sushila who is originally from Uttar Pradesh worked at plastic manufacturing factor unit in the industrial complexes of Sardar Easter in Vadodara. According to the police, the 48-year-old who worked as a help at the unit came to work around 8 am. She took the elevator to the third floor when the accident occurred. The Indian Express quoted Bapod Police inspector TR Bamaniya as saying, "We have sent the body for a post mortem and we are investigating the possibilities of how her head got stuck and whether it was because of the earphones or something else. We are also looking at whether the elevator was faulty."
Investigating Officer M N Saporiya of Bapod police station was quoted as saying, "The elevator, which is without a roof, is used specifically for carrying goods. We are speculating that she was using her phone and absent-mindedly she tried to stick her head outside the lift, which started going up, and the accident happened. So her body was dragged till the last floor and head got severed."
