"I thought someone killed some animal and its blood got mixed with water on the courtyard," she said. The water was reported to smell like raw beetroot.M Santhosh from the local meteorological department was able to shed some light on the mystery. "I assume this is due to atmospheric pollution," he said. "The pollutants in the air get dissolved in rainwater resulting in red rain."
