Harshit Bhatt, a 23-year-old college student, drowned in a water-filled vacant plot owned by the Noida Authority in Sector 94 while celebrating the end of his exams with three friends. Following the incident on Wednesday, his family filed a complaint leading to a murder case against the three friends at the Sector 126 police station. The family has criticized local authorities for not adequately fencing the hazardous area, which has become a popular spot for students. Bhatt's uncle, Santosh Joshi, expressed concerns over the negligence of the authorities, citing a similar drowning incident earlier this year. The police are currently investigating the case, including reports of alcohol consumption among the group. Bhatt's father, an army officer stationed in Leh, faced difficulties reaching his son for the cremation, which took place late Thursday evening. The family is demanding a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the drowning.
