In a dramatic video that has emerged from Hyderabad, a man is seen being washed away by the raging floodwater.
The visual has surfaced from Barkas, near Falaknuma, showing a man trying to hold on to a pole that comes in the path but fails as he is pushed and eventually swept away by a strong floodwater current.
Locals can also be heard shouting for help in the video, as two people standing on an elevated path are seen watching the man helplessly amid screams.
However, it is not clear whether the man has been rescued or not. A tyre tube - probably thrown into the water to save him from drowning - is also seen being washed away in the currents.
Hyderabad is one of the worst-hit areas in Telangana that has been witnessing torrential rain for the last three days.
