The drain is about three to four feet deep. Due to the incessant rains in Mumbai, the flow of water was strong, said authorities. The drain merges into a larger sewer which is about 10 to 15 feet deep.

Divyansh has been stuck inside the drain for nearly nine hours now. Operations to rescue the toddler is currently underway. The fire department and local police are at the scene.
