Mumbai is losing 700 million litres of water per day, thanks to water thieves. As BMC has not been able to stop water-lines from leaking, it has started taking strict action against the thieves. This year, the BMC had lodged 491 police complaints against water thieves at various police stations under section 425 (mischief), 426 (punished for mischief), 430 (mischief by injury to works of irrigation or by wrongfully diverting water) and 379 (punishment for theft) of the IPC.
