Bengaluru/Guwahati: Four warehouse security guards from Assam’s Mising community, three of them related, were found dead Friday inside their rented room at Sulibele in Hoskote on the outskirts of Bengaluru. Police suspect they died overnight from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by fumes from a stove inside the closed room.The deaths came to light after fellow workers broke open a window to check on Dactor Taid (18), his elder brother Dhananjay Taid (23), their cousin Narendranath Taid (30) and Jayant Chinte (23), when they failed to step out for their shift at a soft drinks storage facility. “It appears the youths became unconscious when smoke filled the room. We found charred rice over the stove, which must have burnt through the night,” police said.Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said he will speak to his Karnataka counterpart Siddaramaiah to facilitate return of the bodies at the earliest.The four had moved to Bengaluru four months ago for work. The families suspect foul play and demanded probe.
