Noida Pit Death: Bail Rejected for Construction Director

A local court in Noida has refused to grant bail to Abhay Kumar, director of Wiztown Planners Private Limited. This decision stems from the death of a 27-year-old software engineer whose car fell into a water-filled construction pit on the night of January 16-17. Kumar was arrested on January 20 and his judicial remand was extended by five days.

The court also extended the judicial remand for two Lotus Greens employees, Ravi Bansal and Sachin Karnwal. All three individuals have been booked under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) related to culpable homicide not amounting to murder, causing death by negligence, and rash or negligent acts. A separate FIR invokes environmental protection laws and additional negligence charges.

The hearing for Kumar's bail plea is scheduled for February 2. The prosecution argued that granting bail could impede the investigation. Defense counsel contended that the investigation could proceed with bail and that the Lotus Greens employees, being from the accounts department, had no role in site management. The court emphasized the need for the investigation to proceed correctly, requesting detailed progress reports.
