Mumbai:
The boundary wall erected by a construction company came crashing down on the hutments at Dnyaneshwar Nagar at 0340 hours trapping over a dozen people, police said.
While eight were killed, four injured were admitted to Kaushila hospital in Thane, where the condition of one of them was stated to be serious, hospital sources said.
Residents alleged that the company had dumped large quantities of soil on their side of the wall recently, creating a mound. Heavy rains over the last three days triggered the collapse, they said.
Officials of Dosti constructions were not immediately available for their comments.
