Nirav Modi’s 58-feet tall effigy to be burnt on Holi
Mumbai: In a unique way to vent out their ire against PNB scam accused NIrav Modi, the residents of BDD Chawl in Mumbai's Worli area have created a 58-feet high effigy of the accused, symbolising the evil character of Holika, to burn it as a part of the Holi festival's tradition.
The residents have said the effigy was not created by any ace artist, but was made by the residents themselves.
The Mumbaikars have also considered the environmental factor in mind and have made the giant structure by using less wood and more of dry grass.
Organisers also claimed that it is the highest Holi replica in India this year.
