Twist In BMW-Motorcycle Crash: FIR Filed, Delhi Police Add Evidence Tampering Charges Against Driver And Her Husband

New Delhi: After a fatal BMW-motorcycle crash on Ring Road near Dhaula Kuan on Sunday that claimed the life of Senior Finance Ministry Official Navjot Singh and critically injured his wife, Delhi Police have filed an FIR adding Section 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), Section 238A (destruction of evidence), Section 281 and Section 125B of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Officials said that the driver and her husband allegedly tried to conceal details of the accident and tamper with evidence.The police sources informed that driver of the BMW and her not only rushed the injured couple to a hospital far from the crash site but also tried to suppress critical information about the sequence of events. The Forensic team inspected both vehicles and the accident site. Police confirmed that traces of tampering are being probed and that forensic samples have been collected to support the case under evidence destruction charges.The deceased Navjot Singh was an employee of the Ministry of Finance. His son Navnoor Singh said that his father’s life could have been saved if he had been taken to a super speciality hospital near the accident site instead of a hospital 20 km away, which had no adequate facility.”I had just come from a friend’s house when I got a message from my mother that she was going to Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, but she did not pick up my call… I got a call from a family friend who told me about the accident and that my parents are admitted in New Life Hospital in GTB Nagar,” Navnoor Singh said.According to the Delhi police sources, the move to shift the injured victims to a hospital so far instead of nearby advanced facilities coupled with other inconsistencies in the account of the BMW driver have raised suspicion of an attempt to conceal facts and hide critical evidence.
