Yogi Adityanath Orders SIT Probe Into Death Of Techie Yuvraj Mehta In Noida

In this report, the focus is on the tragic death of 27-year-old software engineer Yuvraj Mehta in Noida's Sector 150, which has sparked a major administrative crackdown. The victim died after his car plunged into a 30-foot water-filled pit dug for a mall project, where he remained trapped for nearly four hours. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has taken cognizance of the case, ordering a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe and the immediate removal of Noida Authority CEO Lokesh M. The speaker notes that 'The SIT will now fix responsibility in a case that has once again raised questions over civic apathy and also accountability.' Investigations have revealed multiple lapses, including the absence of warning signs and reflectors at the site. The post-mortem report confirmed death due to suffocation and heart failure. Following the incident, the state government has also sacked a junior engineer and directed FIRs against two mall builders for negligence.
