A 35-year-old man died and three were injured after the stairs of a building collapsed due to a blast in Delhi’s heavily-populated Sadar Bazar area on Saturday.

Upon receiving information about the incident at 6.28 pm, a team of Delhi Fire Services rushed to the spot. The blast reportedly took place at a house in the New Parking of the area.
Gulab, a resident of Sitamarhi in Bihar, was rushed to Hindu Rao Hospital where he succumbed to injuries, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (north) Sagar Singh Kalsi.
