Three people died after a portion of a two-storey building collapsed in northwest Delhi's Jahangirpuri area on Friday, officials said.
They said a few more people might still be trapped underneath the rubble and a rescue operation is underway.
A police officer said Mukesh Kumar (45) was injured in the incident. He was taken to a hospital where he succumbed, he said.
Two more persons, including a woman, were pulled out of the rubble and were declared dead, the officer said.
He said the two-storey building houses a garment factory.
