According to the police, the labourers were carrying out their routine tasks on the sixth floor of the building when the wooden logs they were utilising for construction suddenly dislodged, causing them to plummet from the sixth floor to the ground below.
“Two of the laborers died on the spot, while the third victim succumbed to injuries during treatment at a nearby hospital,” said D. Venkatesh, the Station House Officer (SHO) of Kukatpally Housing Board Colony (KPHB) Police Station.
The officer further revealed that the wooden logs may have become compromised due to the recent heavy rainfall in the region.
