Eye surgeon left her clinic in building three hours before it collapsed at 2 pm yesterday

The Sanmukh Sadan collapse in Ulhasnagar yesterday could have ended on a more gruesome note for the three families living in the illegal building.

The 13-year-old building, which had been vacated by all but three of the around 20 families who lived there to facilitate repairs, collapsed at 2 pm yesterday.

The collapse left Swati Gaikwad (25), a maidservant, dead. Six were seriously injured.

Kiran Mangnani (28), an eye surgeon, who runs a hospital in the building, left the building at 11 am to visit her in-laws. Three hours later the building collapsed.
