Rescuers say no-one else believed trapped in India building collapse
The death toll from a collapsed apartment block in India rose to 16 overnight as rescuers said Wednesday they didn’t expect to find anyone else trapped dead or alive in the rubble.

Shell-shocked residents said they had previously complained to the builder about the condition of the complex, with police launching an investigation against him and four other people in connection with the tragedy.
