At the time of the collapse, eight tenants from three families living on three floors were present in the building. Two of them were children, and both died.

Had the police and fire services not attended to the emergency immediately, Garud said, more occupants of the building would have died.
The IPS officer, who spent two hours at the accident site, oversaw the rescue of a woman. Five rescued tenants are undergoing treatment in hospital.
Meanwhile, police booked a case under Section 174 of CrPC (police must enquire and report on the circumstances of death) and are in the process of taking an expert opinion to ascertain the cause of the old building’s collapse.
