NEW DELHI: Delhi Police on Monday arrested 38-year-old Gaganpreet Kaur , the alleged driver of the BMW car that fatally knocked down senior finance ministry officer Navjot Singh at Dhaula Kuan.
A Delhi court remanded Kaur to two days of judicial custody. Speaking to reporters, complainant’s counsel Ishan Dewan said, “The court has granted two days of judicial custody. The accused’s counsel opposed it, while we argued that police custody should have been sought. They have also filed for bail, which we will oppose by filing a reply. The matter will be taken up the day after tomorrow.”
Gaganpreet Kaur, a resident of Gurugram, who was allegedly driving the BMW car, was also injured in the incident. Kaur and her husband were admitted to a hospital for treatment. The police took Kaur in custody on Monday following her discharge from the hospital.
An FIR was registered on Monday under FIR No. 240/25, sections 281, 125B, 105, and 238 of the BNS Act.
Navjot Singh, 52, deputy secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs and a resident of Hari Nagar, died in the accident on the Ring Road near the Delhi Cantonment Metro station on Sunday afternoon. His wife, Sandeep, who was riding pillion, suffered severe injuries after the couple was returning home from Bangla Sahib Gurudwara.
Navjot Singh's wife, Sandeep Kaur in her statement to police said, "When we reached near Delhi Cantonment Metro Station, a blue BMW car came from behind at high speed and hit my husband's motorcycle. My husband fell on the road and sustained very serious injuries and multiple fractures to the head, mouth and legs. I too suffered injuries and multiple fractures in the accident on my head and legs. After some time, I also fell unconscious".
She also alleged that after the collision, she begged the BMW occupants to rush her unconscious husband to the nearest hospital. Instead, they allegedly drove the couple about 22 km away to a small facility in GTB Nagar, where the victims were left waiting outside on a stretcher. She claimed her pleas to take them to AIIMS or the Army Base Hospital — both located much closer to the accident site — were ignored.
According to Delhi Police, Gaganpreet during the investigation revealed that she, along with her husband, 2 kids (6-year-old daughter, 4-year-old son) and maid were going from Gurugram to her house.
On asking particularly, why she did not take them to the nearby hospital, she stated that she was in panic and she knew only this Hospital as her kids were admitted there during covid.
Police said further investigation is underway into the sequence of events and the alleged negligence in providing immediate medical aid.
