Varun Grover Slams Mumbai

Lyricist took to his X account to react to this incident and said in a post, “Mumbai is the MOST corrupt city in India, probably by a huge margin. The commercial capital of India has the worst roads (have seen village roads in almost every Indian state in the last 2 years and they are better), atrocious urban planning, & complete disregard for human life.” Officials identified the deceased as Ramdhan Yadav. Rajkumar Indrajeet Yadav, 45, was admitted to the ICU and remains in critical condition. The other injured individuals, Mahendra Pratap Yadav, 52 and Deepa Ruhiya, 40 are reported to be stable. His remarks have added to the broader debate on infrastructure safety and accountability in the city.
