Dense Fog Derails Rescue Effort, Trapped Techie’s Ordeal Leaves Family in Agony

It was around midnight on Friday when Yuvraj Mehta was driving home in Noida from his workplace in Gurugram. Dense fog had lowered visibility to a minimum as Delhi and its surrounding areas shivered due to a cruel cold wave.

The 27 year old software engineer was minutes from the warmth and safety of his home when his car fell into a water-filled ditch at a construction site. Yuvraj dialed his Father and called for help. Rajkumar Mehta tried everything in his power to save his son but failed. Police and firefighters reach the spot but could not bring Yuvraj out. He went down with his car. His body was found hours later.
