Two youths were injured after a slab from the second floor of a building collapsed on Linking Road in Khar West on Friday. The injured have been identified as Nirav Shantilal Nisar, 27, a businessman and resident of Grant Road, and his friend Harsh Kailash Porwal, 28, a resident of Ratlam in MP.

According to police, the incident occurred around 9.40 pm on February 6 near the KFC junction on Linking Road. The two men were standing beside their two-wheeler when cement, sand and iron debris from a building's second-floor slab suddenly collapsed on them. Both were initially rushed to Holy Cross Hospital and later shifted to another hospital for further treatment.

Police said Porwal had recently arrived in Mumbai from Madhya Pradesh to attend a family wedding and was staying at his sister's home in Marine Lines. Khar police have registered an FIR against the owner of Kadamb Kudpi House for negligence.
