Around 6 months ago senior BJP leader Gopinath Munde had lost his life in a road accident in Delhi. The accident occurred as taxi driver Gurvinder Singh reportedly skipped a red light and collided with official minister's vehicle that was on its way to Indira Gandhi Airport. Initially, the case was registered by Delhi Police, that was later passed on CBI to investigate if the accident involved any foul play. Singh has also claimed that the minister's vehicle had jumped a red light that lead to this accident.
Post in-depth investigation that was conducted with the help of IIT, Delhi, it was learned that there was no foul play involved in the accident and it was just an unfortunate incident. Based on investigation, CBI has charged Singh under sections 279 and 304-A, which means if he is found guilty, he shall receive a maximum sentence of two years of imprisonment.
