NOIDA, Jan. 25 -- Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Krishna Karunesh, who was previously serving as the district magistrate of Gorakhpur, on Saturday was appointed as the in-charge CEO of Noida Authority. This comes after M Lokesh, the previous chief executive officer (CEO) of Noida and managing director of Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC), was suspended by the Uttar Pradesh government on January 19 following the death of a 27-year-old techie. The accident, which occurred on the night of January 16-17 under the jurisdiction of Knowledge Park police station, involved a car plunging into a drain at the Sector 150 intersection, resulting in the death of Yuvraj Mehta. The post-mortem report revealed the cause of death as "asphyxia due to antemortem drowning followed by cardiac arrest." Following the incident, CM Yogi Adityanath formed a Special Investigation Team under the additional director general, Meerut zone, which comprises the divisional commissioner, Meerut, and the chief engineer, PWD. According to Chief Minister's Office, it has been tasked to submit its report to the CM within five days. The victim's family has alleged gross administrative negligence, claiming that timely intervention could have saved Yuvraj's life as he struggled in the water for nearly two hours. Rajkumar Mehta, the victim's father, alleged, "My son struggled for two hours to save his life. The officials and staff present were unable to save him. They did not have any divers. There is negligence on the part of the administration in this entire matter." Police said Yuvraj's body, a resident of Sector-150, Noida, Gautam Buddh Nagar, was recovered after a search operation by SDRF and NDRF teams and sent for post-mortem examination....
