Parts of south Mumbai received more than 100 mm rainfall in the last 24 hours, as per the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

Eight people died, while hundreds of houses were damaged over the last four days as rains wreaked havoc in the usually parched Marathwada region of Maharashtra, officials said on Tuesday.

A speeding high-end Lamborghini car rammed into the divider of the Coastal Road in Mumbai, officials said on Monday. The sports car driver escaped unhurt in the incident, which occurred on Sunday morning, an official said.
