One person was killed and 14 others were injured when a four-storeyed building collapsed in east Delhi's Jafrabad area in the wee hours on Saturday.

"One person named Furkan has died in the collapse while 14 others have been injured," he said.
According to an MCD official, the building was declared unsafe after cracks appeared in it.

"Everybody has been evacuated and all the injured have been discharged from the hospital," said a senior police official.
