Noida: The Noida police on Thursday arrested two more builders in connection with their probe into the death of a software engineer who drowned after his vehicle crashed into a waterlogged trench in Sector 150, officials said.
“Those arrested have been identified as Ravi Bansal and Sachin Karnwal,” a police official told PTI.
Yuvraj Mehta (27), who worked in Gurugram, was returning home to Sector 150 here when his car fell into a water-filled pit near a construction site on the intervening night of January 16 and 17. He died after frantically pleading for help for around two hours.
An FIR was lodged at the Knowledge Park police station under Sections 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 106 (causing death by negligence) and 125 (act endangering life or personal safety of others), along with other relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, following a complaint by the techie’s father, police said.
The police had earlier arrested Abhay Kumar, director of MZ Wiztown Planners, also in connection with the case.
