Noida:
A 28-year-old man died after falling into an open drain in Noida on Thursday amid heavy rainfall that caused widespread disruption across the city and neighbouring Ghaziabad. The victim has been identified as Aryan, son of Sanjay Kumar.
According to police, he was 28 years old and a resident of Village Chaura in Noida’s Sector 22. He fell into a drain in Sector 57 while on his way to work in Sector 58. A co-worker, Shubham, took him to the District Hospital in Sector 39, where doctors declared him dead on arrival. The Sector 58 Police Station registered the case and completed inquest proceedings.
The body has been sent for post-mortem examination, and further legal action is under way.
Aryan’s family has blamed the Noida Authority for alleged negligence, saying the drain was left open and unprotected. Local residents have raised concerns over the prevalence of such open drains across the city, and the incident has triggered public outrage and panic in the area.
