Bengaluru: Three daily wage workers were found murdered following a drunken brawl at an under-construction building in Sarjapur on the outskirts of Bengaluru, the police said.
The deceased have been identified as Radhe Shyam (23), Deepu (22), and Ansu (19), all from Gopalganj in Bihar.
According to the police, the three were celebrating Holi along with other labourers employed at nearby construction sites. They primarily worked as plumbers and construction workers and had the day off for the festival.
A fight broke out among them, escalating into a violent melee. Two bodies were found on the third floor of the building, while the third victim succumbed to injuries at the hospital.
The police have formed teams to identify the suspects, and a case has been registered at the Sarjapur police station. Further investigation is underway.
