An elderly person who was trapped amidst debris after the house where he was living collapsed following heavy rains here on Wednesday evening, was rescued and admitted to hospital.
The 72-year-old person is identified as Ramnath, a resident of Khille Mohalla on Uttaradi Mutt Road.
The house was in run-down condition and its walls had become weak in the rains that had been lashing the city since many days. The structure came crashing down and the elderly man got stuck amidst the rubble, unable to run out for safety.

Former CM B.S. Yediyurappa had challenged the first information report registered on March 14, 2024, on the alleged incident that occurred on February 2, 2024, the chargesheet filed by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), and the February 28, 2025, order of taking cognisance of offences afresh by the trial court.
