The incident occurred on Friday when three laborers fell into a pit at an under-construction building in Delhi's Vasant Vihar area.
According to reports, the laborers were living in temporary huts near the site, and the huts collapsed into the pit due to heavy rainfall.
The incident was reported to the Delhi Fire Services (DFS) around 5:30 am.
The NDRF, Delhi Disaster Management Authority, and civic agencies carried out a joint rescue operation.
During the rescue operation, cranes were used to remove debris, and stored water was pumped out of the foundation pit to recover the remaining bodies.
