The official said that they received a PCR call at 5 pm regarding two persons working in a sewage treatment plant in Dallupura who had fallen in a pit.
"As the police reached the spot, they found two persons had fallen into a sewage pit in Kondli," Deputy Commissioner of Police Priyanka Kashyap said. The fire department officials also reached the spot.
Both the victims were then taken out of the pit by the police and fire department officials. The deceased have been identified as Nitesh (25), a resident of Khaspur Bulandshar, and Yashdev (35), a resident of Tigri Rathol.
