Four migrant workers from Assam found dead at labour shed in Bengaluru

BENGALURU: Four young migrant workers from Assam were found dead under suspicious circumstances at Mutsandra village in Hoskote taluk on the outskirts of Bengaluru on Saturday. The incident has triggered shock and concern in the region.

The victims have been identified as 25-year-old Jayant Sinde, 24-year-old Nirendranath, 25-year-old D. Taide and 20-year-old Dhananjay, all natives of Assam. Preliminary investigation suggests that the four workers had cooked food inside the shed late at night and slept after closing all doors and windows. Investigators suspect that they may have died due to suffocation while sleeping.

The deceased were employed at a Coca-Cola warehouse and were residing in a labour shed near the workplace. Police said the incident came to light early in the morning when the workers failed to respond, following which authorities were alerted.
