A recent viral video depicting a dramatic collapse of a five-story hostel building in South-West Delhi has come under scrutiny. The footage, which shows people running in terror as the structure crumbles, has been widely shared across social media platforms. Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa confirmed that at least six individuals lost their lives in the incident, while twelve others were successfully rescued from the debris.
