According to reports, the vehicle owner tied ropes to all four ends of the vehicle and secured the other end to concrete pillars on top of his house. He came up with this idea after witnessing numerous automobiles getting carried away in floodwaters caused by severe rains in the area since the previous night.

This was not, however, the first video to spread from the Rajanna Sircilla area, which saw record flooding as a result of torrential rainfall.
Usually busy roads of the town were seen submerged while residential areas were inundated. Police officers were also spotted removing residents from the stranded colonies. Rainwater also got inside the freshly built collectorate building. Ganesh idols that had been brought to town for sale before the festival had also been washed away.
