Rain sees no boundaries: Bengaluru downpour floods Yemalur's luxurious villa

The heavy rain in Karnataka seems to not be differentiating between the rich and the poor. Recently, visuals of water flooding the private villas and homes in the society Epsilon in Bengaluru went viral on the internet.

One such footage has been shared on Twitter in which a man can be seen swimming through the flood water in his villa in Epsilon. Some other objects in his house can be seen floating as well. The posh society Epsilon is home to many multi-millionaires and billionaires, such as Wipro Chairman Rishad Premji and Britannia CEO Varun Berry.

The video was tweeted with the caption, “#BengaluruFloods: Water floods Epsilon Villa in #BengaluruRain #Karnataka.”

In the comment section, some people criticised the construction of the society buildings over a lake bed.

“This is what happens if Lakes are encroached and layouts are built. Penalise the municipality employees who gave the permission to build. If they have retired, stop pensions, punish them,” a user commented.
