A 27-year-old software engineer died after his car went out of control and fell into a 20-feet-deep water-filled pit that was dug for the basement of an under-construction building in Sector 150 of Greater Noida, police said on Sunday. The incident occurred in the early hours of Saturday, following which a search operation was launched. The body was recovered later in the morning.

The deceased was identified as Yuvraj Mehta, a resident of Tata Eureka Park society in Sector 150. He was working as a software engineer with a reputed company in Gurugram and was returning home from work at the time of the incident, police said.


Additional Commissioner of Police (Greater Noida) Hemant Upadhyay said preliminary investigation suggested that fog and overspeeding may have led to the accident, following which the car crossed a drain and fell into the pit. Local residents staged a protest against the Noida Authority, alleging negligence.
