Days after a section of the 71-year-old Nusser House collapsed, its fate now rests on the findings of the structural consultant appointed by the tenants of the building. Located near the Royal Opera House in Charni Road, the building was first recognised as dilapidated, after Jugal Kishore Jain got a structural audit done in 2017 on his own, which indicated that it was decrepit, but could be repaired. The building is owned by the NM Vora Trust and Jain is one of the trustees.

People nearby said that the rear portion of the ground floor collapsed at around 9 am on July 8. "At around 8 pm, the whole section collapsed. We usually sit close to that building in our break. But thankfully, we weren't there then," said RN Mishra, a guard who works nearby.
