India, Sept. 16 -- Thirty-eight-year-old Gaganpreet Makkad, who was behind the wheel of her BMW car when she allegedly mowed down a finance ministry official and his wife on their bike, said she took the victims to a hospital located 19 kilometres from the spot of the accident because she trusted them and not because she knew anyone there, investigators associated with the case said.

Navjot Singh, 52, deputy secretary with the Union finance ministry, and his wife Sandeep Kaur, residents of west Delhi's Hari Nagar, were on their bike when the BMW, driven by Makkad, hit a central verge in Dhaula Kuan, toppled over and hit the victims' bike, causing fatal injuries to Singh and severe injuries to his wife. Makkad was arrested on Monday.
