While Ramkali, Yogeshwar and Meena are admitted at the MMG hospital in Sahibabad, Malati has been admitted to Yashoda hopistal located in the area. Other injured labourers who survived the collapse and sustained only minor injuries have been discharged after treatment.

The Ghaziabad administration has put the number of the dead at eight. The rescue teams were today busy clearing the rubble strewn in the area. However, the district police believe that all the labourers have been accounted for.

The UP police has registered a case of causing death due to negligence under section 304 A of the Indian Penal Code against Yashpal Sharma. A police team that raided Sharma's Krishna Nagar residence in east Delhi and his office at Janakpuri today found both the premises locked. The investigating officers are interrogating Sharma's associates to ascertain his possible wherabouts.

They say that they are facing difficulty tracing Yashpal since the building's collapse also killed the construction supervisor of Yash apartments. The engineer deputed to the site, whom the surviving labourers refer to as Tomarji, is also untraceable.

The police have sent samples of the material used in the construction to Lucknow to determine the quality of the material.
