According to police, the incident happened on the stretch between Dhaula Kuan and Delhi Cantt metro station, close to pillar number 67. Around midday, police received three calls about a traffic jam in the area. When a team reached the spot, they found a BMW lying on its side and a motorcycle near the road divider.
Eyewitnesses told officers that the BMW, driven by a woman, had hit the motorcycle from behind. Singh was riding the bike, while his wife was seated behind him.
After the crash, the woman driver and her husband, who was also in the car, helped take the injured couple to hospital — but not to the nearest facility. Instead, they drove about 17 km to Nuelife Hospital in GTB Nagar, sources told PTI.
Doctors later informed police that Singh had succumbed to his injuries, while his wife was still undergoing treatment.
The BMW driver and her husband, both residents of Gurugram, also sustained injuries and are currently admitted to hospital. Police say their statements are yet to be recorded due to their medical condition.
A case is being registered and a full investigation is underway. A crime team and forensic experts examined the site and both the BMW and motorcycle have been seized, a senior police officer confirmed.
“The BMW and the motorcycle involved in the accident have been seized. The accident spot was examined by a crime team and experts from the Forensic Science Laboratory were called in for assistance,” the officer said.
Authorities are working to establish the exact sequence of events that led to the fatal collision. Police said traffic in the area was briefly affected but returned to normal after the damaged vehicles were cleared.
