Police recovered on Saturday three bodies from a water tank of an under-construction building in the capital's Bashundhara Residential Area.
They also rescued another person in a critical condition and rushed him to a hospital in the city.
The bodies were recovered around 1:30 pm.
However, the police could not confirm the identities of the victims immediately.
A police official at the Bhatara police station said they received information through the emergency helpline 999 that four people entered the water tank of the under-construction house at Plot 4, Road 14, Block 'E' and did not come out.
Later, police found three of them dead inside the tank while one was rescued in an unconscious state.
The police officer said they had been working as labourers at the under-construction building. They had entered the tank to remove bamboo poles used in the construction.
