Gurugram, July 19 (IANS) One person was rescued while three others died after a three-storey building collapsed in Gurugram's Khawaspur village. The rescue operation was over on Monday afternoon, officials said.

"The team had rescued one Pradeep at around 9.25 p.m. last night and have pulled out two other bodies during the night-long operation. Our fourth companion Rahul alias Tinny Bhardwaj's body was pulled out Monday afternoon," Vijay Kumar told IANS.
Kumar said at the time of the incident around 16 people were inside the building and 12 of them were lucky to rush out of the building at the last moment as four were trapped inside.
"We had urged Ravinder and Krishan several times that the building's condition was not good and the workers are needed to be shifted to another location but the duo did not pay heed to our request and due to their negligence three of the workers have lost their lives while one is yet to be found," the complainant alleged.
It was around 7 pm on Sunday when the building collapsed in Khawaspur village of Gurugram.
Officials said the building was located on the premises of the company and served as a residence for the employees.
