The case involves Gagan Preet Makkad, a businesswoman from Gurugram, accused of causing the death of Navjot Singh, a senior government officer, and leaving his wife critically injured. Questions of negligence, privilege, and possible evidence tampering have pushed this case into the national spotlight. Who is Gagan Preet Makkad? A 38-year-old resident of Gurugram, Haryana. Married to businessman Parikshit Makkad; the couple has two young children. Involved in a luxury goods business (manufacturing/trading of leather saddles, seats, belts, etc.). At the time of the crash, she was travelling with her husband, children, and their maid. The Incident The accident occurred on Ring Road near Dhaula Kuan / Delhi Cantonment metro station. Victims: Navjot Singh, Deputy Secretary in the Finance Ministry, and his wife Sandeep Kaur. The couple was returning from Bangla Sahib Gurdwara on their motorcycle when Singh’s bike was allegedly hit from behind by the BMW driven by Gagan Preet. Singh died on the spot, while his wife suffered critical injuries. The BMW overturned after colliding with a divider. Key Controversies & Legal Issues Hospital choice controversy: Instead of being taken to the nearest hospitals, victims were driven over 17 km away to Nulife Hospital in GTB Nagar, reportedly linked to Gaganpreet’s family. Allegations of negligence: Sandeep Kaur alleged that she repeatedly requested to be taken to a closer hospital, but was ignored. Conflict of interest: Possible family connections between Gaganpreet and the hospital’s ownership raised suspicions of deliberate evidence tampering. Legal charges: She faces charges under the IPC, including: Culpable homicide not amounting to murder Rash and negligent driving Tampering with evidence Current Status Gaganpreet sustained minor injuries and was arrested after being discharged from hospital. The BMW (registered in her husband’s name) has been seized by police. Investigations are underway to verify her claim that she drove victims to Nulife because she was familiar with it from her children’s past COVID treatment. The case remains under active police and judicial scrutiny, with potential for wider political and institutional implications. Conclusion The crash that claimed Navjot Singh’s life has raised deep concerns over road safety, privilege, and accountability in India. As investigations progress, the case will test the transparency of law enforcement and the judiciary in handling matters where influence and connections intersect with justice.
