New Delhi:
Navnoor Singh's 22nd birthday today was marked by profound grief, coming just one day after his father, Navjot Singh, was killed in a devastating accident near Delhi Cantonment metro station. The crash also left his mother, Sandeep Kaur, critically injured and hospitalized, plunging the family into mourning.
Known for his love of surprising others, Navjot Singh had arranged one final surprise for his son. At 6 am today, while preparing for his father's cremation, Navnoor answered the doorbell to find a delivery package. Inside was an air fryer and a shirt that his father had ordered as birthday gifts. The timing created a heartbreaking juxtaposition as Navnoor received his father's thoughtful present on the very day he would perform his last rites.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Navnoor called his father's friend Rishabh to share this poignant moment. When asked about the choice of gift, Navnoor explained that he had recently become interested in cooking—something his attentive father had observed. Rishabh was left speechless by the tragic coincidence.
Fighting back tears, Rishabh recounted this story to NDTV while sharing memories of Navjot. The 52-year-old deputy secretary with the Union Finance Ministry had been riding a motorcycle with his wife Sandeep when they were struck from behind by a speeding BMW. Though rushed to hospital, doctors pronounced Navjot dead on arrival.
"He was like a brother to me; he celebrated every moment of life. He was an excellent driver who loved traveling. During our trips together, we never knew the itinerary. Everything was a surprise. He meticulously planned everything."
Controversy surrounds the incident as Gaganpreet Kaur, the BMW driver, transported the victims to a hospital in GTB Nagar approximately 19 kilometers away, bypassing closer medical facilities. Police sources reveal the chosen hospital is partially owned by Gaganpreet's father, leading Navjot's family to allege a deliberate cover-up attempt.
Gaganpreet and her husband Parikshit, who was a passenger in the BMW, face charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, rash driving, and evidence concealment. Gaganpreet has been arrested and remains in judicial custody.
Rishabh's only wish is justice for his friend. "I have complete faith in Delhi Police's capabilities. My sole demand is justice for Navjot. Accidents can happen to anyone, but afterward, wouldn't a responsible person call police and an ambulance? She claims she wasn't thinking clearly, yet she managed to contact the hospital and ask them to prepare for arrival? An ambulance might have arrived within five minutes, potentially saving my friend's life," he lamented.
