A 50-year-old worker died after the entire structure of a building at Abdul Rehman street collapsed during demolition. The building had caught fire on Saturday morning and after six cylinder blasts in the evening, the structure had been declared unsafe by the fire brigade. The demolition work on the building was started on Monday morning by MHADA. On Friday, five workers were at the site when the whole structure came down around 5 pm.

Vinayak Vispute, assistant commissioner of B ward, had said, "After the building collapsed, all five labourers were rescued. Three are safe and two of the injured were sent to J J hospital." Dr Rajeev from J J hospital, however, said that one worker, Farid Khan, was declared brought dead and Abdul Shaikh, 24, is under treatment. The four-storey, 101-year-old Tyeb building is situated on the busy Abdul Rehman street near Crawford Market. The ground and first floors were occupied by five shops selling stationery, handbags, school bags, etc, and a godown. Residential houses were located on the upper three floors.
