Missing PWD Engineer Found Dead in Canal

In a tragic turn of events, the body of Vivek Kumar Soni, a Public Works Department (PWD) engineer, was discovered in a canal in Lucknow on Thursday. The 38-year-old assistant engineer had been missing for two days, prompting his wife to file a missing person report, which eventually led to the discovery of his body in the Indira Nagar canal near the Gosainganj area.

Vivek Kumar Soni’s disappearance was reported by his wife on Tuesday at the Ashiana Police Station. She informed authorities that her husband had left home but failed to return. Initially, there were no leads in the case, leaving both his family and the police in a state of uncertainty.

On Wednesday, a breakthrough came when Soni’s motorcycle was found near the Indira Canal, which sparked the suspicion that the missing engineer could be in the vicinity. The police quickly took action by calling in the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) to conduct a thorough search of the canal. Their efforts paid off when they recovered Soni’s body on Thursday.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Shashank Singh confirmed the recovery of the body and identified it as that of Vivek Kumar Soni. The authorities have sent the body for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. A legal protocol was followed before the body was sent for autopsy examination to determine future actions. The police will take further action according to what the autopsy report reveals DCP Singh explained.

As the investigation continues, the police are focusing on determining whether Soni’s death was the result of an accident or foul play. His family and the public eagerly await the results of the autopsy, hoping for clarity on the tragic incident.

The tragic death has also sparked political outrage. The Uttar Pradesh Congress has criticized the state’s law and order situation, pointing to the two-day delay in locating Soni. Through X social media, the party issued this announcement about PWD engineer Vivek Soni who worked in Lucknow before his death at Indira Dam today. The person had vanished two consecutive days before the discovery. The police department failed to find a trace of his whereabouts during the two days from his disappearance up to the discovery of his death. The entire population of the state remains unprotected under the governance of Yogi Adityanath, who has demonstrated his power-seeking tendencies throughout his eight years of rule.

This statement underscores the growing frustration among the public regarding the handling of the case and the broader law and order situation in the state. Political leaders are calling for stronger measures to ensure the safety and security of citizens, particularly in cases where individuals go missing.

The death of Vivek Kumar Soni has left the Lucknow community in shock. As an assistant engineer in the Public Works Department, Soni was a well-known figure in the city, and his sudden and mysterious death has raised many questions. His colleagues and friends remember him as a diligent and hardworking individual who contributed to the development of the city.

His untimely demise is a reminder of the unpredictable and often perilous situations that individuals can face, even in the midst of routine daily life. As the investigation progresses, the people of Lucknow are hoping for justice for Vivek Kumar Soni and answers to the many questions surrounding his death.
