India, Aug. 23 -- At least two people were killed and two others injured when an alleged unauthorised eight storey building under construction collapsed in Anjaiah Nagar in the upscale Gachibowli of Hyderabad on Saturday, officials said.

The incident occurred at around 2 pm. "Two bodies had been recovered from the rubble, while two others were injured after debris fell on a neighbouring structure. They were shifted to a nearby hospital for treatment," a police officer said.

The collapsed structure was reportedly on a plot measuring only around 50 to 60 square yards. Officials alleged that the building was built over or adjacent to a drain without the required permissions.
