UP Government Removes Noida CEO, Orders SIT Probe After 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. Rescue efforts were delayed despite his prolonged pleas for help. The Uttar Pradesh government removed Noida Authority CEO Lokesh M and formed a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the incident. Investigations revealed administrative lapses, ignored safety warnings, and unclear land ownership. A builder was arrested, and authorities ordered road safety overhauls to prevent similar tragedies.
