Parts of the false inclined ceiling in an academic wing of the IIT Bombay fell off on Monday. Though no one was injured as the area was empty when the incident took place, it triggered concerns of safety among the students.

Allaying fears, the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay administration said it was a one-off incident caused by heavy rain this year. The incident took place on the second floor of the building housing lecture halls, which has now been shut for repair work.
