Noida Techie Death: Sourabh Raaj Jain Calls Incident 'Terribly Shocking', Slams Authorities

Actor Sourabh Raaj Jain, who is known for using his social media voice responsibly to speak up on social and environmental concerns, has once again called out a deeply disturbing incident. Recently, Jain took to his Instagram stories and strongly reacted to the tragic death of a 27-year-old tech professional named Yuvraj Mehta in Noida’s Sector 150. The actor called the incident ‘terribly shocking’ and slammed the authorities for the unfortunate death of a young man.

“The incident in Noida, where a young engineer drowned after pleading for help for nearly 2 hours, is incredibly shocking. Is this the cost we must bear as citizens? No one from the authority, funded by our taxes, took timely action. This was not an unforeseen accident; he asked

for help for almost 2 hours. Do the authorities bear no responsibility? SHAME,” he wrote.

Abhinav Shukla Also Calls Out NDRF

Earlier today, actor Abhinav Shukla also slammed the NDRF and the fire department following the tragic death of the software engineer. The actor expressed outrage and demanded the resignations of NDRF officials, police personnel and government authorities, accusing them of gross negligence. He criticised the departments for failing to perform their duties and for the delay that ultimately cost a young man his life. “It is shocking that these departments, whose only job is to rescue and protect, stood there watching and doing nothing,” he said.

What Happened To The Noida Techie? 

For the unversed, Yuvraj was returning home from work early Saturday morning when his SUV breached a damaged roadside barrier and plunged into a deep, water-filled construction pit. The excavation, part of an ongoing project, was reportedly difficult to detect due to dense fog in the area. Notably, the site lacked essential safety measures, including barricades, reflectors, and warning lights, despite prior complaints regarding potential hazards.

According to reports, Yuvraj managed to climb onto the roof of his vehicle and called for assistance for nearly two hours. Rescue efforts were unable to reach him in time. Unfortunately, Yuvraj passed away after.
