Builder Arrested and SIT Probe Ordered After Noida Techie's Death in Water-Filled Pit

Yuvraj Mehta, a 27-year-old software engineer, died after his car plunged into a deep, water-filled pit at a construction site in Noida's Sector 150 amid dense fog. The pit, dug for a building basement, lacked barricades, warning signs, and lighting despite prior warnings and a similar earlier accident. Authorities arrested builder Abhay Kumar and removed the Noida Authority CEO. A Special Investigation Team was formed to probe alleged negligence and systemic safety failures, prompting calls for accountability and road safety reforms.
