Delhi Police on accident
According to the Delhi Police, a tragic collision took place when a BMW car hit a motorcycle near Metro pillar number 67 at Dhaula Kuan. The motorcycle was carrying a couple, and eyewitnesses said a lady was driving the BMW at the time of the accident. Following the collision, the motorcycle-borne couple struck a nearby bus on their left. After the crash, Gaganpreet and her husband took a taxi and rushed the injured couple to a hospital. Later, the hospital informed the police that one person had died while the other sustained serious injuries.
The deceased was employed by the Ministry of Finance and lived in Hari Nagar. His son, Navnoor Singh, shared his grief and raised concerns about the medical treatment. Navnoor said, “I received a message from my mother that she was going to Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, but she did not respond to my calls. I later learned from a family friend that both my parents were admitted to New Life Hospital, GTB Nagar. I feel the hospital was not suitable. My father could have been saved if he had been taken to a superspeciality hospital nearby.”
Police investigation and FIR filing
Delhi Police acted swiftly after receiving the hospital’s report. Both the BMW and the motorcycle were seized, and the crime team inspected the accident site thoroughly. The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team was also called in to analyze the scene and the vehicles involved.
“A BMW car was found overturned on the road, while the motorcycle lay near Metro pillar number 67, Dhaula Kuan. Eyewitnesses confirmed that a woman was driving the BMW, which hit the motorcycle. After the accident, the woman and her husband took a taxi to rush the injured couple to the hospital. A call later came from the hospital stating one patient had died and another was injured. Both vehicles were seized, and the crime team examined the spot,” Delhi Police said in an official statement.
An FIR was registered on Monday under FIR No. 240/25 u/s 281/125B/105/238 BNS. Section 238 of the BNS Act relates to the disappearance of evidence or providing false information to protect an offender. Authorities are investigating whether the accused tried to hide evidence.
Condition of the accused and victims
Both Gaganpreet and her husband sustained injuries in the accident. They were admitted to the hospital. The police arrested Gaganpreet from the hospital on Monday afternoon. It is known that both of them are in the business of manufacturing horse leather saddles, seats, covers, and belts.
On the other hand, the victim’s wife, who was riding the motorcycle, is also undergoing treatment. Her condition is being closely watched by doctors.
Family calls out handling of the situation
Navnoor Singh, the son of the deceased, expressed his strong concern about the way the situation was handled. He pointed out that the hospital was located far from the accident site and lacked proper facilities. He added, “People at the hospital said that instant death after an accident is very rare. There are several superspeciality hospitals like AIIMS and others near Dhaula Kuan. My father might have been saved if treated there.”
Eyewitnesses at the scene recalled the shocking sight of the BMW overturned on the road and the motorcycle lying near the Metro pillar. The woman driver did not report the accident to the police immediately but instead took the injured in a taxi to the hospital.
The investigation is still ongoing. Delhi Police are carefully examining all angles of the case, including how and why the accident happened, whether there was any negligence involved, and if the accused attempted to hide evidence. The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team is analyzing the vehicles and the accident site to better understand the sequence of events.
“The legal process is underway. Further details about the accident and the accused’s role will be shared as soon as we complete the investigation,” said a senior Delhi Police officer.
Public reaction and safety concerns
The accident has triggered public anger and raised questions about road safety and accountability. Many are demanding stricter action against reckless driving and more transparent investigations in such cases. Experts also warn that accidents involving high-end vehicles like BMWs are becoming more common on Delhi’s roads, making strict enforcement of traffic laws a pressing need.
