4 Dead After Four-Storey House Collapses In Delhi’s Mustafabad, CCTV Captures Horrific Moment

Four people died and several others are feared trapped under the rubble after a building collapsed in Delhi’s Mustafabad area in the early hours of Saturday.

The teams of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and Delhi Police are at the spot to carry out a rescue operation, said officials. Rajendra Atwal, Divisional Fire Officer, said a call regarding the house collapse was received around 2:50 am on Saturday, following which rescue teams rushed to the spot.

“We received a call regarding a house collapse around 2:50 am…we reached the spot and found out that the entire building had collapsed and people were trapped under the debris…NDRF and Delhi Fire Service are working to rescue the people,” he said.

Sandeep Lamba, Additional DCP of North East District, said that 14 people have been rescued so far. He confirmed that it was a four-storey building and that the rescue operation is still ongoing, with 8 to 10 people feared trapped under the debris.

The house collapse incident occurred just hours after a sudden shift in Delhi’s weather on Friday night when heavy rainfall and thunderstorms lashed several parts of the city.

In a separate incident last week, a wall of an under-construction building collapsed during a severe dust storm near Madhu Vihar police station, leaving one person dead and two others injured.
