3-storey commercial building collapses in Bikaner; 3 dead, 8 injured

Jaipur, May 7 (PTI) Three people died and eight others were injured when a three-storey commercial building collapsed on Wednesday in Rajasthan's Bikaner, police said, adding that more people could be trapped under the rubble.

Kotwali SHO Jasveer Kumar said a gas cylinder blast could have caused the building collapse but only a probe can confirm it.

The deceased have been identified as Salman, Sachin and Mohammad Aslam. One of them had a shop in the building and the other two were workers, he said.

The injured have been admitted to the hospital for treatment. There is still a possibility of some people being buried under the debris, he said. PTI AG SKY SKY
