Rain brings Bengaluru to its knees, 5 dead

Bengaluru: At least five people were killed in separate rain-related incidents on Tuesday in Bengaluru, which has been reeling under incessant rains for the past three days causing widespread flooding in several residential areas and turning roads into virtual rivers.

While three labourers died in a building collapse after the downpour, two children drowned in Kengeri Lake and were trapped in the marsh, police sources added.
