As per reports, the residential society had covered an old well with reinforced concrete to use it as parking space. The concrete washed away due to the rain which resulted in the car sinking in the well, and drowning completely.
No casualties have been reported so far.
The residents were reportedly not aware of the presence of the well, and questions have been raised over the BMC and local authorities failing to prevent the society from covering up the well in such a manner.
