An assistant sub-inspector, Jagdev Singh, also lost his life in a similar accident when he was leading the official vehicle of then Punjab cabinet minister Lal Singh from Delhi to Chandigarh over two years ago.
In fact, drivers as well as policemen in the VVIP fleet often themselves become a casualty. Last week, Malkit Singh, a gunman attached with the pilot vehicle of Bibi Joginder Kaur, was killed when the Gypsy in which he was travelling fell into the Bhakra canal near Sirhind. The driver was in a hurry to overtake another vehicle when he lost control.
