When Yuvraj Mehra's car fell into a water-filled trench in Greater Noida, actor Abhinav Shukla blasted the NDRF, police forces, and government authorities for failing to help him. He criticized the departments for failing to carry out their duties effectively.
Abhinav took to his X handle to share, "In the tragic case of Yuvraj Mehra, a young boy’s car plunged into the water-filled pit after colliding with a construction site wall. Following the accident, he immediately alerted the fire department, the police, and the NDRF. While all these agencies arrived at the scene with cranes and ropes, not a single professional rescuer entered the water to save him. For two agonising hours, the boy stood atop his submerged car, shouting for help and struggling to survive."
