Thirteen tenants, including 12 families, were living in the building at Pakmodia Street, where underworld don Dawood Ibrahim once lived.

“So far, 21 people have been rescued, including 15 men and two women, from under the debris along with four fire brigade officials. Several are still feared trapped,” Mumbai Fire brigade officials told the Hindustan Times.
