mumbai

'indian city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'quiet tease shaking behind' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'quiet' could be 'mum' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'mum' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
