Jaipur, Sept. 6 -- A man and his daughter were killed and at least five others were injured when a four-storey dilapidated building collapsed in the Subhash Chowk area in the old walled city here.
According to police and eye witnesses, loose boulders and slabs from the rear walls of the rain soaked building -- housing some tennant families, mostly from West Bengal-, started falling down from the third storey around midnight last night.
Soon the major portion of the house collapsed with a bang. There were 19 inmates, members of tennant families at the time of mishap. However, 12 of them reportedly managed a safe exit while seven were buried in the debris.
The Civil Defence and the SDRF sleuths have extricated them from the debris.
