A major building collapse in Hyderabad has left two people dead and another injured, with alleged illegal construction and violations now under investigation.

According to reports, an unauthorized seven-storey under-construction building collapsed in Anjaya Nagar near Madhapur Circle, trapping workers beneath the rubble. Two workers reportedly died, while a resident of a neighbouring house sustained injuries and was taken to hospital.

The collapse also reportedly damaged or crushed part of an adjacent apartment structure, raising serious questions about the safety of the construction and the conditions under which the building was being erected.

Authorities are investigating allegations that the structure was built on a very small plot close to a drainage canal. Reports also indicate that officials had received complaints months earlier, seized the property and halted construction. However, construction allegedly resumed shortly before the collapse despite the reported stop-work order.

Rescue and relief teams, including HYDRA, NDRF, fire services and police, have been deployed with heavy machinery to clear the debris and search for anyone who may still be trapped.

Hyderabad Building Collapse Kills 2 Workers | Illegal Construction Allegations Trigger Probe

A fresh political controversy has erupted in Telangana after Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy accused the opposition of allegedly using occult practices and black magic to discredit his government.

Speaking at a public gathering, the chief minister made the sensational allegation without naming BRS leader T. Harish Rao, while questioning his reported visits to temples in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

Revanth Reddy alleged that opposition leaders were involved in “Aghora pujas” and black magic, claiming that such practices had allegedly been carried out for years in neighbouring states.

The remarks triggered a sharp response from the BRS, with party leader K. Sanjay accusing the chief minister of attempting to divert attention from what he described as unfulfilled promises involving jobs, farmer relief and development projects.
