Overview
- Harshit Bhatt, 23, an Amity University student, was recovered about 10 metres inside a water-filled construction pit in Noida on Wednesday, April 8, and was declared dead at a hospital.
- Following Friday's FIR at Sector 126 police station, police booked his three companions — Vyas, Krish and Himanshu — on a murder charge.
- Investigators are reviewing CCTV that shows the group buying liquor and beer cans found near the pit as possible evidence.
- His mother disputes that account, cites bruises on his body, says the post-mortem notes no alcohol, and calls for a fair probe.
- Police say the group entered the stalled Noida Habitat and Convention Centre site through a broken boundary wall, a lapse the family wants fixed to secure open pits.
