"Waiting for toxicology report to find drunk and drive, CCTV to verify overspeeding angle": Delhi police on BMW crash

New Delhi [India], September 15 (ANI): Delhi Police on Monday said that they are waiting for a toxicology report to find the drunk and drive angle and are verifying the CCTV footage to verify if the vehicle was overspeeding in the Dhaula Kuan BMW accident case.

Speaking to ANI, South West Delhi’s Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abhimanyu Poswal, confirmed the arrest of the main accused, Gaganpreet, who will be produced in the court after a medical examination.

Poswal said, “The main accused, Gaganpreet, has been arrested. She will be produced before the court after her medical check-up… We have investigated why the accident took place… We also asked her why she took him (the victim) to the hospital 20 km away. She said that it was the only hospital that treated them during the COVID-19 pandemic. When she recovered from the shock, she saw that her daughter was bleeding and her husband was injured.”

The Additional DCP highlighted that the accused did not think much and asked the taxi driver to go to the GTB Nagar hospital for first aid.

“Gaganpreet is from Gurugram and is in her husband’s business. We are waiting for the toxicology report to find the drunk and drive angle… Regarding the tampering of the evidence, she should have informed the police and taken the victim to the nearest hospital. Something may have happened after which she took him to a hospital 20 km away. Navjot Singh’s wife is stable and under treatment, and she has already been treated twice,” he said.

Abhimanyu Poswal further mentioned that the accused husband suffered head injuries in the accident and is receiving treatment in the hospital.

“Ganagpreet’s husband also has head injuries and is admitted to the hospital. CCTV will be checked to verify the overspeeding angle… We have interrogated her. She claims she has no idea how the accident occurred. She says that they were on their way to Gurugram and the accident took place after a sudden impact, resulting in the accident…,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Delhi Police on Monday arrested Gaganpreet Kaur, the lady driving the BMW car involved in the Dhaula Kuan accident case, which resulted in the death of the motorcycle rider.

Kaur, 38, a resident of Gurugram in Haryana, was arrested during the course of the investigation.
