Overview
- Yuvraj Mehta, 27, a software engineer, died after his SUV breached a damaged boundary and plunged into a water-filled excavation near Sector 150 around midnight.
- Police said a preliminary probe points to dense fog and possible overspeeding, with the vehicle missing a sharp turn and falling into the deep pit.
- Mehta reportedly called his father and signalled from the car roof as police, fire, SDRF and NDRF teams mounted a multi-hour operation that recovered his body in the early morning.
- Family members and eyewitnesses alleged delayed and ill-equipped rescue efforts, while officials cited darkness, cold water, depth and submerged hazards as constraints.
- On the father's complaint, an FIR under BNS sections 105, 106 and 125 names two builders who own the plot, as residents highlight prior warnings about the broken wall and missing barricades and police continue their probe.
