Mumbai: A video was doing circles on social media platforms today of a bizarre incident caused by heavy rains in Mumbai. In the midst of the monsoon rainfall across the western coast, a car parked at a residential complex was seen getting completely swallowed into a huge sinkhole on Cama Lane in Ghatkopar West in Mumbai on Sunday morning. While no individual was injured in the incident, a crane had to be used to pull the car out of the sinkhole.

It was found that the car was parked on a spot where a well used to be earlier. However, residents had covered up the area with concrete to create space for the parking lot. Here’s a video of the crane pulling out the submerged car:
