The Delhi Police have submitted a 400-page chargesheet, stating that the 52-year-old official, who was run over by a speeding BMW near Dhaula Kuan in September 2025, was still alive for at least 15 minutes and could have been saved with prompt medical assistance. The final report was presented before a magisterial court last week.
The incident took place on September 14, 2025, Navjot Singh, a Deputy Secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs, Ministry of Finance, was killed, and three individuals, including his wife, were injured after a BMW reportedly collided with his motorcycle near Delhi Cantonment Metro Station on Ring Road.
Following the fatal crash, the woman driver and her husband, who was also in the vehicle, assisted in taking the injured couple to a hospital. However, they did not go to the nearest facility. Instead, they drove approximately 17 km to Nuelife Hospital in GTB Nagar, according to reports. The accused has been identified as Gaganpreet Makkad.
In the 400-page chargesheet filed before Judicial Magistrate Ankit Garg, the police alleged that the accused, Gaganpreet Makkad, intentionally delayed providing essential medical assistance to the victim.
The report states that the incident occurred at around 1:30 pm on September 14, 2025, when Makkad’s BMW X5, allegedly travelling at speeds of 100-110 km/h, collided with a metro pillar near Delhi Cantonment Metro Station on Ring Road, overturned, and struck the Hari Nagar resident’s motorcycle. The speed limit on that stretch of road is 50 km/h.

“The speed made it impossible to control the vehicle. The impact, despite the BMW being one of the sturdiest vehicles, shows the force with which the victims were struck,” the chargesheet stated, referencing a speed analysis report obtained from BMW.
The postmortem report in saying that “survival time of the deceased was at least 15 minutes", although details were being clarified.
The final police report mentioned that instead of taking them to nearby hospitals such as the Delhi Cantonment Hospital or the AIIMS Trauma Centre, which were 10-15 minutes away, Makkad took the injured to Nulife Hospital in GTB Nagar, around 20 km from the crash site.
The report also alleged that Makkad has “distant family links" with Nulife Hospital, and it took 23 minutes to reach there. Police had earlier claimed that an ambulance with a driver and paramedic reached the spot minutes after the crash, but the accused refused their assistance.
The report described Nulife Hospital as “a small two-storey nursing home with limited facilities" and alleged that the delay resulted in the “wastage of the golden hour of trauma care." The police said the accused refused help from the ambulance staff and delayed medical assistance.
Notices issued to the hospital revealed this connection, the chargesheet said, adding that documentary evidence regarding, alleged manipulation of medical records was yet to be collected.
The chargesheet also alleged that the accused falsely admitted herself to the ICU despite sustaining only minor injuries, allegedly to mislead investigators.
The final report said that the investigation into certain aspects, including alleged manipulation of medical documents, was still underway.
