The woman accused in the BMW accident that claimed the life of senior finance ministry official Navjot Singh has been arrested by the police on Monday after being discharged from the hospital. The key accused is currently in police custody and will be questioned further, followed by legal action.
The crash occurred on Delhi's Ring Road between 1.30 pm and 2 pm on Sunday. 56-year-old Navjot Singh was working as a deputy secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs, and was a resident of Hari Nagar. He died when his bike was struck by a speeding BMW. His wife, Sandeep Kaur, sustained serious injuries. The couple was reportedly returning from Bangla Sahib Gurudwara.

The officials explained that the BMW hit the two-wheeler with such intensity that it rammed a divider and overturned.
"Staff reached the spot and found one BMW car turned sideways on the road, and one motorcycle near the divider of the road near the Metro Pillar no. 67. A woman was driving the car, which hit the bike. She and her husband hailed a taxi and took the injured persons to a hospital,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southwest) Amit Goel said.
The police registered a culpable homicide case and confirmed that the control room received three calls after the collision. The accident resulted in heavy traffic as emergency services worked the scene.
The couple's son, Navnoor Singh, stated that the accused deliberately took his parents to a hospital which was 22 km away, which delayed the treatment. “My father could have been saved had it been a nearby facility,” he said.
Investigators explained that the couple had taken the Dhaula Kuan road towards Raja Garden when the speeding BMW crashed into them. The crash threw them onto a bus moving to their right. This intensified the severity of the collision.
