A wall collapsed during a wedding party in western India late on Wednesday, killing at least 25 people, Indian media reported. 
 
 The hundreds of guests were having dinner or assembling on the outdoor lawns when a strong dust storm blew into the area on Wednesday night, forcing people on the lawns to go indoors. 
 
 Then the 80-feet-long (32-meters-long) wall collapsed onto people inside the wedding hall, Bharatpur District Magistrate NK Gupta told reporters. 
 
 The Times of India reported that 25 people, including four children, lost their lives in the collapse while other news outlets counted 22 and 26 deaths. 
 
 "As per the official figures, 23 people including 11 men, eight women and four children were killed. The number of injured stands at 28," Alok Vashishth, the inspector general of police, told the Times. 
 
 The newspaper reported that two more people died in the early hours of Thursday as a result of their injuries. 
 
 "The building collapsed due to dust storm and people were stuck in debris. Some locals intimated about the incident and a rescue team rushed to the spot," Mr Vashishth, the inspector general of police, told the Times. 

 NEW DELHI (AP) — A building wall collapsed onto guests at a wedding in western India, killing at least 24 people and injuring others, a government official said Thursday. 
 
 The hundreds of guests were having dinner or assembling on the outdoor lawns when a strong dust storm blew into the area Wednesday night, forcing people on the lawns to go indoors. When the 80-feet-long (32-meters-long) wall fell, it trapped people inside the wedding hall and a covered shed built along the wall outside, Bharatpur District Magistrate N.K. Gupta told reporters. 
 
 Another 28 people were injured and have been hospitalized, police officer Anil Tank told Press Trust of India. 
 
 Police registered a case of culpable homicide against the building owner and were questioning him, Tank said 
 
 A power outage hampered rescue work. It wasn't clear if the dust storm was a factor in the collapse. 
 
 The district is in Rajasthan state nearly 200 kilometers (125 miles) south of New Delhi. 
 
 Building collapses are common in India, where high demand for housing and lax regulations have encouraged some builders to cut corners, use substandard materials or add unauthorized extra floors. 
 
 In 2013, a building being constructed illegally in Mumbai caved in, killing 74 people in the country's worst building collapse in decades.
– India Prime Minister Narendra Modi says he is "pained beyond words" by a disaster that killed dozens of people at a wedding in Rajasthan state Wednesday. Authorities say at least 25 people were killed and nearly 30 others injured after a dust storm hit as hundreds of people were dining outside, the Telegraph reports. As guests sought shelter inside, an 80-foot-long wall in the wedding hall collapsed onto them, trapping many people in debris. Police say the building owner is being questioned on suspicion of culpable homicide, the AP reports. Modi has promised payments of around $3,000 to the next of kin of deceased victims and $775 to those badly injured.
