Delhi BMW Crash: Driver Sent To 2-Day Judicial Custody, Police Probe Hospital Link

A tragic accident occurred when a BMW collided with a motorcycle, resulting in the death of Navjot Singh, Deputy Secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs. Singh was returning from Bangla Sahib Gurdwara with his wife, who also sustained severe injuries. The incident took place in Dhaula Kuan, and the driver of the BMW has been arrested.

The accused, identified as 38-year-old Gagandeep Kaur Makkad from Gurugram, Haryana, was taken into custody by Delhi Police. Following her arrest, she was remanded to two-day judicial custody by a Delhi court. Her legal team has since filed a bail application on her behalf.

Investigation into Hospital Connection

Authorities are examining a potential connection between the hospital where Singh and his wife were treated and the accused. The couple was taken to Nulife Hospital in GTB Nagar, 19 kilometres from the crash site. This hospital is reportedly owned by one of Makkad's relatives, raising suspicions about the choice of facility.

There are allegations that medical reports may have been tampered with at Nulife Hospital. Police sources have indicated that there might be discrepancies in the records concerning Makkad's treatment at this hospital. The victim's family has echoed these concerns, questioning the absence of documentation for Kaur and her family’s treatment.

Legal Proceedings and Charges

Makkad faces charges under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). These include culpable homicide not amounting to murder, rash driving, obstruction of evidence, and endangering lives. Despite these serious charges, she has not been charged with murder.

The case continues to unfold as investigators delve deeper into all aspects surrounding this tragic event. The focus remains on ensuring justice for Navjot Singh and addressing any possible misconduct related to the incident or subsequent medical treatment.
