In a significant breakthrough in the tragic death of software engineer Yuvraj Mehta in Greater Noida, police have arrested two key promoters linked to a builder group. The arrests of Ravi Bansal and Sachin Karnwal mark a crucial step in the investigation into the 27-year-old’s untimely demise.
The incident occurred on the night of January 16-17 at a construction site in the Knowledge Park police station area. Yuvraj, a professional engineer, drowned in a water-filled plot due to alleged gross negligence by the builder and his associates. Authorities have registered a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder at the Knowledge Park station.
Ravi Bansal, son of Prakash Chand, resides in Flat D-76, Manglam Residency Apartments, Faridabad, Haryana. Sachin Karnwal, son of Gopal Karnwal, lives in Flat B-6, Building A-11, Shalimar Garden Extension-2, Sahibabad, Ghaziabad. Both are promoters associated with Lotus Green Company.
Under the directives of Gautam Buddh Nagar Police Commissioner, a special campaign targeted wanted criminals, leading to this operation. The effort was supervised by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Greater Noida, and Additional DCP, with the Knowledge Park police team executing the arrests.
Police are thoroughly probing the accused’s criminal backgrounds and uncovering vital leads. Officials anticipate more arrests as the investigation deepens. The duo will be produced before the court as per legal protocols.
This case underscores the pressing need for stringent safety measures at construction sites to prevent such avoidable tragedies. Families and communities await justice for Yuvraj, whose life was cut short by preventable lapses.
