The Weeping crucifix in Mumbai is a statue of the crucified Jesus in Mumbai which attracted widespread attention in 2012 when a constant stream of water began to seep from its feet. Some of the local Catholic faithful believed the incident to be a miracle; however, the skeptic-rationalist author Sanal Edamaruku proved that the water stemmed from a faulty sewage system, which seeped due to capillary action. Edamaruku mocked the Catholic Church on television and called it "anti-science", and became subsequently subject to multiple first information reports (FIR) under blasphemy laws. A Catholic lawyer and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Mumbai called for him to apologise for the comments. After receiving a barrage of threats, he migrated to Finland.
