Another asked Ripudaman to investigate the cause of the leak - “Might be a leakage in the floor above you. Happened with us. Upper floor had a leakage in the pipe and this started happening. If not fixed, drops will start falling slowly,” he wrote.

Many people joined the techie in criticizing Bengaluru's real estate pricing, claiming that buildings are almost invariably substandard.?

“Saying it for the nth time...a standalone home built under your own supervision is much better than any apartment built on the 10th or 20th floor in an overpriced building,” an X user wrote.?

"The price paid for premium apartments is always for premium position, premium address, premium brand, premium society, premium utilities and never for premium construction," an additional source stated.
