A passer-by died after a four-storey building crashed at Kalbadevi on Sunday night. Parts of the 80-year-old structure had begun disintegrating in the evening, prompting the fire brigade and police to evacuate it.

Around 5.30 pm, the fire brigade received a call about the shaky building number 5 on Dadi Seth Agyari Lane at Khanderao Wadi. “One side of the bathroom on the fourth floor had collapsed. Cracks had developed on the walls. Fearing for their lives, the residents called the fire brigade,” said a local resident.
