A constable was killed in a road accident late Saturday evening along the Bathinda-Muktsar highway close to Deon village in the Bathinda district. The deceased, identified as Navjot Singh of Muktsar, was returning to Muktsar when his car crashed into a tree.
Navjot Singh was a deputy superintendent of police’s (DSP) chauffeur in Muktsar. The collision occurred after Navjot dropped the officer off at Bathinda and headed home. The crash, which occurred at around 12:30 am, resulted in considerable damage to the automobile.
The scene of the accident was chaotic as the mangled remains of the car were discovered by residents. They immediately called for an ambulance, and Navjot was rushed to the Bathinda Civil Hospital. Despite these efforts, he was declared dead upon arrival. The police have since sent his body for a postmortem to determine the exact cause of death.
Residents and authorities familiar with the development reported that Navjot was a dedicated officer known for his service in the police department. His untimely demise has left the community in shock and mourning. Fellow officers and locals alike have expressed their condolences to Navjot’s family, recognising his commitment and contributions to public safety.
The collision has been looked at by the Bathinda police to determine the reason behind it. According to preliminary accounts, Navjot could have lost control of the car, leading it to swerve off the road and collide with the tree. Officials are taking into account every scenario, though, including the state of the car, the route, and any potential technical issues.
This event brings to light the dangers that law enforcement officers must deal with when performing their duties, even when they are simply travelling. The passing of Navjot serves as a sobering reminder of the necessity for enhanced traffic safety regulations and the need for cautious driving, particularly on roads in the evening.
Navjot’s family is receiving assistance from the police department and the community while the inquiry is ongoing. The Muktsar police force is grieving over his demise and is making attempts to pay tribute to his commitment and service. To safeguard the safety of its officers and stop such occurrences in the future, the department is also examining its safety procedures.
The untimely passing of Navjot Singh has left a shadow over the area, causing people to consider road safety and the dangers that law enforcement personnel confront. The neighbourhood is grieving the death of a dedicated and courageous cop and is standing in support of his family during this trying time.
