Dharwad: The toll in the building collapse at Dharward rose to 17 on Saturday even as four people were rescued from the debris, police said.
The four included a couple, both aged between 35 and 40 years, another man in his twenties and a 40-year-old woman, they said.
The total number of those rescued now stood at 72, police said.

Police have also arrested the building’s design engineer Vivek Pawar.
