Mayapuri

Mayapuri in Delhi “is, arguably, the biggest market for used automotive and industrial spare parts in India,” Wikipedia notes. Business Standard reported in 2022 that traders there buy old cars from scrap yards and take them apart for parts that can still be used.

In 2010 a cobalt-60 irradiator sold by Delhi University reached a scrap dealer in Mayapuri. “The cobalt-60 source was cut into eleven pieces.” One person died.
