**Tragic BMW Crash Claims Life of Senior Finance Ministry Official in Delhi**
A case of culpable homicide has been filed following a tragic BMW crash in Delhi that resulted in the death of Navjot Singh, a senior official in the Finance Ministry. The incident occurred on Sunday when Singh, 52, Deputy Secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs, and his wife, Sandeep Kaur, were returning home from Bangla Sahib Gurdwara on their motorcycle.
The couple was struck from behind by a speeding blue BMW near Dhaula Kuan on Ring Road, causing them to be thrown onto the road. Singh sustained severe injuries to his head, face, and legs, while Kaur suffered multiple fractures and a head wound requiring 14 stitches.
According to Kaur’s FIR, the BMW, driven by a woman named Gaganpreet Kaur, was traveling at high speed when it lost control and collided with their motorcycle before overturning. The FIR details that Singh and Kaur were riding their motorcycle (DL 9SCN 9244) when the accident occurred around 1:30 PM near Metro Pillar No. 67.
Kaur reported that she was wearing a helmet, while Singh had his turban secured. After the crash, Kaur pleaded with the driver to take them to the nearest hospital, but instead, they were driven nearly 19 kilometers away to a smaller facility in GTB Nagar, allegedly connected to the driver. Later, Kaur’s son and relatives transported them to Venkateshwar Hospital for further treatment.
At the GTB Nagar hospital, the driver identified herself as Gaganpreet Kaur and provided her car number as 0008. Medical staff recorded the incident as a road traffic accident, and Singh was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.
Based on the FIR, police have registered the case under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder. Both vehicles involved in the accident have been seized, and forensic teams are currently investigating the scene.
