Local residents blamed poor drainage and official negligence for the incident. Videos shared on the social media platform X show a large portion of the ground caved in, with a bulldozer working to retrieve the vehicles that had fallen into the sinkhole. One of the retrieved cars was seen severely damaged after being pulled out.
According to reports, the basement belonged to Sushant Aqua College Society, located opposite Crossing Republic. Due to waterlogging in the basement, the soil beneath it sank, causing several parked vehicles to fall into the cavity.
