According to a police source, the 4x4 crater in Kilpauk could be a result of underground metro work happening in the area.
However, when TNM contacted the Chennai Metro officials, they denied Metro Rail works were the cause.
An official of the Metro Water department however said that the area inspectors are inspecting the site and that it is not yet confirmed if it is CMRL or metro water works because of which the cave-in has happened.
On April 9, Anna Salai caved in near the Church Park school, and a bus and a car were stuck in the giant crater for several hours. The cave-in happened due to underground construction work for the Chennai Metro Rail,
