Delhi Police on Tuesday confirmed that the accused in the BMW hit-and-run case had no alcohol content in her blood test, as per a report from news agency ANI.
The accused, Gaganpreet, was arrested on Monday and has been remitted to two days of judicial custody. She was driving the BMW, the police said, when it rammed into a bike and killed one person and injured another.
The accident took place on Delhi’s Ring Road between 1:30 pm and 2:00 pm on Sunday. The victim, 56-year-old Navjot Singh, worked as a deputy secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs and lived in Hari Nagar.
He was riding on a bike with his wife, Sandeep Kaur, when the speeding BMW struck them. Navjot died from his injuries, while Sandeep sustained serious wounds. The couple was reportedly returning home after visiting Bangla Sahib Gurudwara.
Their son, Navnoor Singh, stated that the accused, Gaganpreet, purposefully took his parents to a 22-km distant hospital, prolonging the urgent medical assistance. “My father would have survived if it had been a local facility,” he claimed.
Police are still trying to investigate the accident and the reasons for the delay in treating the patients.
