00:05has now been taken into custody by Delhi police. This is the killer BMW driver who's been arrested
00:11by Delhi cops at this point. These are the latest that we are picking up.
00:17This Gaganpreet was behind the wheels and she was accompanied by her husband
00:22when the BMW in fact crashed with the very bike which led to Navjot Singh dying
00:29and his wife currently being in a very critical condition in a GTP Nagar hospital
00:34where they were admitted, where they were taken to right after the accident
00:38which has in fact become the major question of the hour with regards to this very case
00:44that why were they taken to a 19km away hospital in GTP Nagar
00:51when the accident took place in southwest Delhi in Dholakuan.
00:55So big questions that still remain to be answered
00:58but yes, the action has already been taken by the cops
01:03wherein Gaganpreet Makkad has been arrested.
01:07There is an entire investigation into the fact that whether they were taken to the hospital
01:12that far away to in fact cover up the entire accident.
01:16Several questions coming to the light even now but Shriya Chatterjee joining me on the broadcast
01:21to in fact bring us some updates if not answers to the probe at this given point.
01:27Shriya, let's understand here the arrest has taken place.
01:31What more are we picking up from the ground?
01:32Well, yes, Gaganpreet has formally been taken into custody by the Delhi police.
01:40We are trailing the vehicle in which she is being taken right now.
01:43I will ask my cameraman to show the Delhi police vehicle.
01:46This is the southwest district police who is investigating the case right now
01:50and they have officially taken Gaganpreet into custody.
01:54We did see that she stepped out of the hospital.
01:57Her husband who was also present in that accident is still undergoing treatment is what we are being told
02:05but she was discharged today and as we have been reporting since morning
02:08the moments after she was discharged she was taken into custody by the Delhi police's southwest district
02:16and these are the visuals that we are getting of the police vehicle that is taking Gaganpreet
02:22where she will have to face interrogation.
02:25The main question, why was a hospital 19 kilometers away chosen by the accused?
02:33Absolutely, those are the questions that are being asked Shriya at this given point.
02:38If we are to understand the charges that has been, you know, slapped against Gaganpreet at this given point
02:47what more details can you bring me on that?
02:49What is she being booked under?
02:54Well, the initial investigation was as per the hit and drive case
03:00but because this matter also pertained to the fact that there was a destruction of evidence
03:07that was also done because remember that is the accusation that came in from the family members
03:11and also there is no plausible reason why a hospital 19 kilometers away was taken
03:16and that is the reason we are seeing the destruction of evidence charges being added
03:20included that death by negligence.
03:23As we talk, the Delhi police vehicle on which Gaganpreet is aboard is right now being taken to the southwest district.
03:32It is the Delhi can police station which is formally in charge of the investigation
03:37where Gaganpreet will officially be questioned by the Delhi police
03:41and the interrogation will largely pertain on why a hospital 19 kilometers away from the accident spot
03:48was chosen for giving the first aid to the victims
03:52because somewhere down the line as the victim's family has suggested
03:56that the collision could have been an accident
03:58but what transpired was clearly a case of murder
04:02and that is exactly why we have been highlighting this case since morning
04:06and as the update is now finally Gaganpreet has been taken into custody.
04:12Right Shreya, so viewers just to let you know
04:14on one side of the screen we have our colleague Shreya Chatterjee
04:18currently in fact trailing the very vehicles, the police vehicles
04:22that have Gaganpreet with them in custody
04:25and on the other side of the screen we are bringing to you
04:28the exact moment of arrest when Gaganpreet was taken into custody
04:32so a complete picture that we are presenting to you
04:35at this given point of the current circumstances that have come to develop.
04:39Shreya, I'll come back to you.
04:39You know you've very rightly pointed out one thing.
04:42The investigation, there's an accident that had taken place.
04:44It's an unfortunate tragedy that's come about the crash that took place
04:49of the BMW car with the very bike claiming Navjot's life
04:54but the point is whether it was just the crash which claimed Navjot's life
04:58whether there was a possibility of taking him to a nearby hospital
05:02to get him treated and save his life
05:04and also the fact that his wife who was sitting behind
05:07who also got attended to quite late
05:11because of taking them to a hospital in GTV Nagar
05:14instead of the ones that were much closer by
05:16and that is what the victim couple's son has also raised at this point.
05:24Well absolutely
05:25and that's something which does not have any plausible reasons
05:30why it would be done
05:31because you'd see the area that I'm talking is the Dholakua region
05:36which is very close in proximity with the NDMC area
05:39you can take someone to the nearby Ames
05:41you can take someone to the Safdarjung hospital
05:43they're up with
05:44as well
05:47this doesn't make sense
05:49why they would be taking someone so far away
05:53it is something which is to be investigated right now
05:58absolutely
05:58I think that those are very pertinent points
06:01that are being raised at this given point
06:02but yes
06:03the big news that comes in the update
06:05is Gagan Preet having been arrested
06:07the BMW driver being arrested by the Delhi police now
06:11and now being taken over
06:12to the South West District police station for questioning
06:15so yes the investigation is currently on
06:17and viewers with that we are wrapping this very bulletin
06:20but on the other side
06:21you will be seeing more on this very story
06:24where this life has been claimed
06:27but the bigger question
06:29than the life being claimed
06:31is how has the life been claimed
06:32was there negligence behind the death
06:34or was it just the accident and the crash
