A shocking video of a car falling from the second-floor parking lot in Pune’s Viman Nagar has raised concerns over building safety. The incident occurred on Sunday morning at Shubh Gateway Apartment.
The now-viral CCTV footage captures a white car entering the premises. Moments later, the wall of the second-floor parking lot gives way, sending a sedan plummeting in reverse. A security guard, standing just a few meters away, narrowly avoids the collapse as onlookers rush to the scene.
