Is this claim true?: NO. The viral video actually shows a road recently collapsing in Thailand's Bangkok. It has no connection to Maharashtra.

How did we find that out?: Using the help of Google Lens, we conducted a reverse image search and found the same visuals uploaded in a report published by The Indian Express.

• It mentioned that a huge section of a road outside a hospital collapsed, which created a sinkhole that swallowed cars and other things.

• The report quoted Bangkok Post, which said that the sinkhole was about 30 by 30 metres wide. While three vehicles were damaged, but, no injuries were reported.

The report was published on 25 September.

Other sources: The official YouTube channel of Associated Press, too, shared a video report talking about the incident in Bangkok.

• It was posted on 24 September with a title saying, "Giant sinkhole opens up in Bangkok street."

Conclusion: It is evident that the video is from Bangkok, Thailand, and has no connection with Mumbai.
