India, Jan. 21 -- After pulling an end to a hectic week at work, a 27-year-old software engineer was heading back late on Friday. Little did he know that his regular drive would turn fatal and he would not be able to make it home.

The man, identified as Yuvraj Mehta, who was a software engineer by profession was returning home to Tata Eureka Park in Noida's Sector 150 from his Gurugram office late on January 16. As he drove into the intersection of Sector 150, his car broke through the boundary of a drain and fell into the water.

Mehta, who then climbed to the roof of the car and called his father for help at around midnight, finally drowned to death after hours of waiting and lack of rescue efforts.
