"The three sanitation workers from Bengaluru had entered a manhole to clean it and died of asphyxiation. More details are awaited," the Ramanagara superintendent of police S Girish told P T I.

According to police, six people were brought from Kamala Nagar in Bengaluru by a contractor to clean the choked sewerage.

The other too met the same fate in a bid to save their colleague.

The police were in search of the contractor who had brought them from Bengaluru.
