Stuck in the car, gave last hope to father
After the accident, Yuvraj got trapped inside the car. Breathing began to fail, but hope was still there. He somehow called his father Rajkumar Mehta and said “Papa, save me… I am drowning, I don’t want to die.” The family members panicked and reached the spot, but the pit was so deep that no one could dare to climb down. The water was cold and there were iron rods inside, which increased the danger further.
Police also arrived on information, but due to darkness, lack of resources and seriousness of the situation, the rescue got delayed. According to eyewitnesses, Yuvraj remained trapped in the car for about two hours and kept calling for help, “Please save me somehow.” Moninder, a delivery agent who was present at the spot, said that police, SDRF and fire brigade were also there, but no one was ready to enter the water. The reason given was that the water was very cold and there were iron rods inside.
