The incident took place near Gandhinagar in Sulya Taluk of Dakshina Kannada District when the bar collapsed and three workers were trapped under the mani while they were working on the centering of the construction of the barrier wall.

Hiregoddetti Somasekhar Reddy (45), his wife Shantakka (35) and another youth (one's name yet to be known) of Mundaragi taluk of Gadag district are known to have died.

A huge sign was removed behind Abu Bakr's house. Centering work was going on to build a barrier by putting filler under it. While the workers were doing some maintenance today, the soil collapsed once. The laborers who were working underground got stuck in the mud.

As soon as the incident took place, an operation was started by the JCB to extract the people stuck under the mud, and by the time the people stuck under the mud were pulled out, three of them were said to have died.
