A wall, around 60 feet long and 20 feet tall, collapsed, trapping at least three men underneath, said the Fire Brigade official. They were rescued before a Fire Brigade team arrived on the spot, he said, adding that two of them were declared dead by the doctor accompanying the 108 ambulance.
Those dead, have been identified as Sintu Mandal, 32 years old and Jaidev Pralhad Biswas, 45 years old.
The other injured person was undergoing treatment at a nearby hospital, and search was underway with the help of Percussive Rescue Tool (PRT) kit to check if any more persons were trapped under the debris, the official added.
In a separate incident, a 50-year-old former press photographer was shot dead in his house in Nagpur's Raj Nagar area on Saturday afternoon, a police official said.
The CCTV cameras installed in the house managed to get the images of the accused while he fled from the scene, the Sadar police station official added.
"The accused entered the house of former press photographer Vinay Punekar and shot him dead before fleeing from the spot. Punekar was shot in the neck. A murder case was registered and efforts are on to nab the assailant," he said.
Meanwhile, a 15-year-old boy was booked for allegedly sodomising a 17-year-old boy in Taloja in Panvel, a Navi Mumbai police official said on Saturday.
A case of unnatural sex and kidnapping under Indian Penal Code and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act was registered on Friday in connection with the incident that took place on February 14, he said.
"The accused took the victim to the 14th floor of their building and had unnatural sex with him. The accused is yet to be detained. Further probe into the case is underway," the Taloja police station official said. (With inputs from agencies)
