Sauna session turns into nightmare: Two Noida women trapped for 30 minutes, break lock to escape

“We tried to unlock it multiple times, but couldn’t. We shouted and banged on the door, hoping someone would hear us but no one came,” claimed one of the women.

With no response from the society’s management or security staff, they said they began to panic as the steam kept filling the small room, making it difficult to breathe. “Nearly 30 minutes later, we broke through a section of the false ceiling, pulled out a metal rod, and used it to break the lock,” one of them said.

A video recorded by the women after the incident shows the damaged steam room.

Following the incident, residents of the society alleged that despite paying a hefty maintenance charge, they don’t get proper facilities. “We pay hefty maintenance and membership fees, yet there was no one around to help. The emergency system clearly failed,” a resident claimed.

An official spokesperson of Tata Housing told The Indian Express that no one sustained injuries in the incident.

“We are aware of an incident that took place at one of our projects and deeply regret the inconvenience caused to the individuals involved. Our team has promptly initiated a detailed review in coordination with the facility management to determine the cause and ensure that all safety and operational protocols are thoroughly reinforced,” said the official.

“We are also extending every possible support to those affected. We remain committed to upholding the highest standards of quality, safety, and care across all our developments, and we are addressing this matter with utmost seriousness,” the spokesperson added.
