- In Bengaluru, a building collapse claimed eight lives; first arrest made (owner’s son) and contractor detained. The Times of India

Tip for posting: You may split into two sub-articles or a combined “Regulation Failures” theme. Use quotes from the court and highlight human impact (deaths, injuries).
