In Greater Noida, a 26-year-old delivery worker, who gained attention during the drowning incident of Yuvraj Mehta, was arrested along with his brother on charges of extortion. The police identified the pair as residents of Knowledge Park, stating they extorted between ₹20,000 and ₹25,000 from local restaurant owners and handcart vendors. Following numerous complaints of threats, a case was filed under various sections of the Indian Penal Code at the Knowledge Park police station. The delivery worker had previously claimed to have searched for Mehta after his car fell into a waterlogged pit on January 17, 2023, during dense fog. His involvement in the drowning investigation led to media attention, but he later reported receiving threats from police. In addition to extortion, the brothers face charges of attempt to commit homicide and rioting, indicating a broader pattern of criminal behavior.
