On Wednesday morning, a five-storeyed building collapsed after heavy downpour in central Delhi’s Bapa Nagar, leaving four dead and 14 injured. The deceased were identified as Mohammed Mujeeb, 18, his brother Mohammed Mukeem, 25, Aman Khan, 12, and Mohsin Khan, 26, all from Uttar Pradesh’s Rampur, APA reports citing Hindustan Times.
Usman said Aman was staying with another cousin Mohammed Owais, who also suffered injuries in the incident.
Aman is survived by his mother and his eight-year-old sister. “Aman lost his father in 2016. His mother earns for her two kids and hoped that Aman would eventually help her. We haven’t even told her he is no more,” Usman said on Wednesday afternoon.
The incident also left another family broken as siblings Mujeeb and Mukeem died, leaving behind Muheem, their 22-year-old brother, to take care of their elderly parents in Rampur.
Muheem, speaking at RML Hospital, said the brothers had been staying in Bapa Nagar for three months. “We all worked at factories running inside houses. I work at another place and my brothers worked here,” he said.
Survivors of the incident said the ground and first floor were empty, and around 15 residents were working on the second third and fourth floors during the collapse. “Most were sleeping and some stepped out for tea and breakfast. Suddenly, the building collapsed and we all went under debris. We couldn’t realise what happened for a few seconds,” said Owais, an injured person.
