Pradeep Rawat died at 74: Revisit the unforgettable roles that defined his career
Yuvraj Mehta, 27, lost his life after his SUV plunged into a 70-feet-deep ditch filled with water amid dense fog in Noida.
Despite managing to call his father and friend, Mehta could not be rescued in time. While some people passing by tried to help him after hearing his screams, they couldn’t as the car was completely submerged.
Yuvraj, who worked in a data science company in Gurugram, was heading home when the incident took place in Noida’s Sector 150.
His father and the police arrived at the scene within minutes, but could not locate him due to the dense fog, although they could hear his voice. His body and car were only pulled out after five hours.
