A real estate developer, who was named in the FIR, was arrested on Tuesday in connection with the death of a 27-year-old software engineer whose car had plunged into a water-filled pit at a construction site in Noida’s Sector 150, officials said.

“Abhay Kumar, director of MZ Wiztown Planners and one of the accused in the case, has been arrested from Sector 150,” Additional Commissioner of Police (Greater Noida) Hemant Upadhyay said.

Meanwhile, the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) in the day ordered immediate overhaul of road safety measures across its jurisdiction.

GNIDA Chief Executive Officer NG Ravi Kumar directed officials to identify and promptly fill all potholes on or near roads and to mark accident-prone “black spots” without delay, according to an official statement issued Monday evening.

He also instructed that essential safety measures, including directional signage, reflectors and barricading, be implemented on all roads within three days.

Earlier, cops had filed an FIR on culpable homicide not amounting to murder and other charges against two real estate developers — MZ Wiztown Planners and Lotus Greens — on a complaint by victim Yuvraj Mehta’s father, Raj Kumar Mehta, who alleged negligence by local authorities and sought accountability.
