Bengaluru Rain: Man Finds 'Fish' in Apartment Complex Once Home to Dr APJ Abdul Kalam

Torrential rainfall in Karnataka's capital city has paralysed the infrastructure of India's tech capital, with netizens posting videos of waterlogging, including a "waterfall-like structure" in Manyata Tech Park, one of India's largest office spaces. A new image has emerged on social media showing a resident of Yelahanka holding a fish in hand and posing for the camera amid the waterlogging in his area. Reportedly, the fish was found near the basement of Kendriya Vihar—an apartment complex that was also home to the late President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. The man caught the fish while trying to pump out the water from the basement area.
