Four migrant workers from Assam were found dead inside a labour shed in Muthsandra village, Hoskote taluk, near Bengaluru on Saturday, January 31, 2026. They were Jayant Sindhe, 25, Neerendranath, 24, Doctor Tide, 25, and Dhananjay Tide, 20. All worked at a soft drinks warehouse and lived in a nearby labour shed. Police said the men were sleeping inside the shed when the incident happened. Early investigations suggest suffocation as the cause. The workers had cooked food inside the shed late Friday night after closing all doors and windows. Poor ventilation may have caused oxygen shortage or toxic fumes, leading to their death. The tragedy came to light when they missed work on Saturday morning. Co-workers checked on them and called the police. Sulibele police visited the spot and found the men dead inside the locked shed. A senior police officer said, "The doors and windows were found closed. There are indications that the workers may have died due to suffocation while cooking inside the room. However, we are not ruling out other possibilities at this stage." Senior police officials inspected the area and collected evidence. Local residents expressed concern over the poor living conditions of migrant contract workers, saying many sheds lack safety features like good ventilation and fire safety. The bodies were sent for post-mortem, and police await detailed reports. Statements from co-workers, warehouse staff, and contractors are under recording. Sulibele police filed an Unnatural Death Report (UDR) and are investigating if employers or contractors were negligent in providing unsafe accommodation.
