Hospital Links Under Spotlight🏥
According to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) database and investigators:
- Makkad’s father, Javinder Singh, is listed as a director in Nulife Advanced Diagnostics Pvt Ltd and Nulife Luxury Realtors Pvt Ltd—both registered at the same address as HK Nulife Hospitals Pvt Ltd.
- One of Nulife’s directors is also on the board of the same companies as Singh.
- Singh is the maternal uncle of Dr. Harish Kumar, who founded Nulife Hospital in 1992. After his death during the Covid-19 pandemic, the hospital’s management was taken over by his children.
Victim’s Wife Raises Alarm💔
On September 14, Navjot Singh, a deputy secretary in the Union finance ministry, was riding with his wife Sandeep Kaur when the BMW overturned and hit them near Dhaula Kuan.
Kaur, who suffered multiple fractures, told police:
“My husband was unconscious and needed immediate medical attention, but she ignored my pleas and took us far away.”
Kaur said she had begged Makkad to take them to closer hospitals like Deen Dayal Upadhyay (7.8 km) or AIIMS Trauma Centre (12 km), but Makkad insisted on going to Nulife.
At Nulife, Kaur was left unattended while Makkad allegedly admitted herself to the ICU despite minor injuries—raising suspicion of record manipulation.
Police Oppose Bail Plea🚔
In submissions to Patiala House Court, police argued Makkad acted with “mala fide intentions.” Key points included:
- Makkad bypassed nearby hospitals, delaying critical treatment.
- She was seen “roaming around the ICU lobby” instead of helping the victims.
- She allegedly spoke to family members before diverting the victims to Nulife.
- Her husband, Parikshit Makkad, has been “evasive” during questioning.
- The driver of the Eeco van confirmed Makkad ordered the diversion to Nulife.
Police warned her release could lead to witness intimidation and evidence tampering.
Defence Arguments⚖️
Senior advocate Ramesh Gupta, defending Makkad, argued:
- The FIR was filed with a 10-hour delay, and charges were escalated later.
- The BMW first crashed into a metro pillar before hitting the bike; a bus involved has not been seized.
- An ambulance allegedly flagged down by Makkad did not stop, adding to the delay.
- Her own children and husband were injured, and she “tried her best” to arrange treatment.
Victim’s Family’s Stand🧑⚖️
Advocate Ankush Munjal, representing Sandeep Kaur, said:
“While my client lay bleeding and pleading to be taken to a closer hospital, the accused ignored her requests. At Nulife, instead of arranging treatment, she admitted herself without serious injuries. This is criminality.”
Current Status📌
The court has extended Makkad’s judicial custody till September 27 and will continue hearing bail arguments on September 20. A separate plea to preserve CCTV footage has also been admitted.
Makkad faces charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections:
- 281 – Rash driving
- 125B – Culpable homicide not amounting to murder
- 105 – Endangering lives
- 238 – Obstruction of evidence
Aftermath🕯️
Navjot Singh’s post-mortem was conducted on September 17—the same day as his son Navnoor’s birthday. His cremation was attended by officials from the embassies of Japan, South Korea, and China after his remains were shown to his wife at Venkateswara Hospital.
