The deceased is identified as Suhail, 29, a welder from Shivamogga.
Reportedly, the building collapsed due to deep excavation in an adjacent building. The owner of the adjacent property had started excavating a few days ago and ended up digging close to the foundation pillars of the three-storey building, which led to the tragedy.
Dog squad and fire department arrived at the spot and are trying to find out if more people are stuck under the debris.
