Four Assam Workers Die in Bengaluru Shed
Four young men from Assam were found dead in a small house near their workplace in Bengaluru.
They worked at a Coca-Cola warehouse and lived together in a temporary shed.
They cooked food inside the shed late on Friday night and closed all the doors and windows before sleeping.
The police think they might have died because the air inside the shed became unsafe to breathe.
Their friends found them in the morning when they didn't answer their calls.
The police are still checking to find out exactly what happened.
The families of the workers are very sad and want to know more about what happened.
The government of Assam is helping to bring the bodies back home and is asking for a full investigation.
Four young migrant workers from Assam were found dead in a labour shed near Bengaluru.
