Noida Techie’s Death Prompts FIR and Disciplinary Action After SUV Falls Into Unbarricaded Pit

An autopsy cites asphyxiation with cardiac failure as police probe negligence at an unbarricaded Sector 150 excavation.

Overview

  • Police registered a case under BNS sections 105, 106 and 125 against MZ Wiztown Planners Ltd and Lotus Greens Construction Pvt Ltd on a complaint by the victim’s father.
  • The post-mortem concluded death by asphyxiation and cardiac failure, with the body recovered after hours of searches by police, fire services, SDRF and NDRF.
  • The Noida Authority terminated junior engineer Naveen Kumar and issued show-cause notices to other officials, and installed temporary barricades following local protests.
  • Residents had repeatedly filed written complaints seeking barricades, reflectors and lighting at the accident-prone Sector 150 site, citing earlier incidents.
  • Officials say dense fog and possible overspeeding likely led to the crash, while the family and eyewitnesses allege a delayed, inadequate rescue response.
