The Delhi Police on Monday arrested a woman who was allegedly driving a BMW car that collided with a motorbike, killing a Finance Ministry official a day earlier, PTI reported.

Navjot Singh, deputy secretary in the ministry’s Department of Economic Affairs, and his wife were returning home on Sunday when the BMW allegedly driven by the woman, Gaganpreet, crashed into their motorbike, The Indian Express reported.

Singh was killed in the accident that took place near the Delhi Cantonment metro station. His wife was seriously injured.

Gaganpreet’s husband, Parikshit Makkar, and their two children were in the car when the crash took place.

According to the police, Gaganpreet and her husband drove the injured couple to a hospital in GTB Nagar after the collision, which is nearly 17 km from the crash site, The Indian Express reported.

“It has been revealed that the hospital owner is known to them, as Gaganpreet’s parental home is in the same locality where the hospital is located,” the newspaper quoted an unidentified police officer as saying.
