A 10-year-old girl was killed and two others were injured after a five-storey residential building collapsed in suburban Khar on Tuesday, 24 September, a fire brigade official said.
Nearly two dozen residents of the ill-fated structure were rescued, he said.
The incident took place around 2:20 pm when a part of Bohala Apartment, a residential complex near Khar Gymkhana, caved in, the official said.
