A four-storey building under construction collapses in Delhi’s Rohini sector on Wednesday, and the death toll later rises to three, police say. Rescue teams recover the bodies from the rubble and continue debris removal as the operation winds down. One person is identified as Ram Kishore, 42, who is pulled from the debris and declared dead at a hospital. Other victims include a construction worker and the building owner’s husband, with additional names reported by outlets including Kafe and Ram Dua. Several injured people are also rescued, including Ravi, a POP worker, and Saddham, who suffers fractures and is being treated at Babasaheb Ambedkar Hospital. Authorities state that further people are feared trapped, though sources differ on the exact number. A chief minister’s post says police and district administration teams are rushed to the spot and officials monitor the situation. Police register a case through an FIR against unknown persons, and they say the cause of the collapse is under investigation. Debris removal continues at the site into the subsequent day.
