A portion of a ground-plus-five storey residential building collapsed on Tuesday afternoon near Khar Gymkhana killing a minor girl and injuring two others. Some columns in the parking section on the ground floor of Bhole Apartment were allegedly undergoing some repair work for the last few some days. The reason of the collapse is not yet known.
Ten-year-old Mahi Motwani, who was rescued from the debris, was later declared dead at Lilavati hospital. Two others injured in the mishap were taken to Bhabha Hospital and were later discharged while 21 others were rescued immediately after the collapse. The incident occurred at around 1.11 pm when one side of the parking lot sunk in. The living room areas on that side of the building and a part of the staircase soon came crashing down. Four fire engines, two table-turner ladders, one rescue van, one ambulance, a team of NDRF and one 108 ambulance were rushed to the spot for rescue work.
