Incident took place where the Kapali theater once stood. The theater was recently demolished to build a multiplex and construction work was going on to build a parking lot there. No casualties have been reported at the site.
As per sources, the ground had been dug to a depth of over 80 feet and the neighboring building had started to develop cracks on Monday night so the officials evacuated the area. The three-storied building hosted a hotel and a lodge and the building owner had approached the BBMP to demolish it by next month.
