Five people were killed after part of the roof of a room of a dargah, or the tomb of a Muslim saint, collapsed in Delhi’s Nizamuddin area on Friday evening.
The Dargah Sharif Patte Shah is located near the Humayun’s Tomb in Nizamuddin East.
Visuals from the site showed a small, lime-green building around an open courtyard.
The roof on one side of the building appeared to have collapsed. Rescue workers were seen on site.
