Greater Noida Accident Software Engineer Yuvraj Mehta Drowns in Water Filled Pit Due to Negligence

Greater Noida accident: Discover the heartbreaking story of 27-year-old software engineer Yuvraj Mehta, who drowned after his SUV plunged into a deep water-filled construction pit in Sector 150 on January 17, 2026.This incident exposes shocking construction negligence, lack of barricades, and delayed rescue efforts amid dense fog and poor visibility.
Join Rahul from The Rooster News as he breaks down the details, including the role of real estate developers, Noida Authority failures, and the botched response by police, fire brigade, SDRF, and NDRF.

In this video, we dive deep into the timeline of events: Yuvraj was returning home from his job at Dunnhumby India in Gurugram when his Grand Vitara veered off the road due to fog and overspeeding, crashing into a 20-70 foot deep pit at an under-construction commercial site near ATS Le Grandiose. Despite escaping the vehicle and surviving for nearly 2 hours on its roof, calling his father for help and sharing his location, rescue teams faced criticism for hesitation and inadequate equipment. A brave delivery agent named Moninder even jumped in to assist, but it was too late. The autopsy confirmed death by drowning and cardiac arrest.

We also cover the responsible parties: Real estate developers M/s Wishtown Planners and Lotus Greens Construction for failing to install safety measures; Noida Authority officials, including the removal of CEO M. Lokesh; District Magistrate Medha Roopam for disaster management lapses; and rescue agencies for delays despite 80 personnel on site. Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath has ordered a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe, with an FIR registered for culpable homicide. This tragedy highlights urgent issues in urban infrastructure safety, road hazards in winter fog, and emergency preparedness in developing areas like Greater Noida—where a similar truck incident happened just weeks prior without fixes.
Edited by Rajan, this report from The Rooster News aims to raise awareness and demand accountability to prevent future losses. Our condolences to Yuvraj's family, including his father Raj Kumar Mehta.
