CCTV captured the collapse as residents said municipal crews arrived after a two-hour delay, and officials said the city has seen three monsoon-linked deaths in less than a week.
- On Sunday, a 63-year-old man, Yunus Kundawala, died after a tree collapsed onto his shop in Kurla West, Mumbai, while he was preparing for its opening day.
- The India Meteorological Department issued a red alert for Mumbai following torrential rainfall, with parts of the city recording over 200 mm within a 24-hour window.
