India, Jan. 20 -- The Uttar Pradesh government on Monday removed Noida Authority chief executive officer and ordered an inquiry into the death of a 27-year-old software engineer who drowned in Greater Noida.

The victim, Yuvraj Mehta, was returning home from work when his car veered off the road and fell into a deep water-filled excavation pit.

The incident took place early on Sunday when Yuvraj died after nearly two hours of calling and screaming for help. His father watched helplessly from the road, trying to help but failing without resources.
