Friends and family members of finance ministry official Navjot Singh, who died after his bike was rammed by a speeding BMW on Ring Road on Sunday, remembered him as a passionate biker, a dedicated and bright government official, and a humble human being.

Navjot's father, Balwant Singh, 85, a retired flying officer in the Indian Air Force, said that his son had cleared the Central Secretariat Services in 1998, and was duly posted in the ministry of finance. "It's a loss to the nation. He was an asset to the Government of India. He mostly worked in the North and South Block. He started with the ministry of finance and moved on to work at the ministry of defence for 10 years before being transferred back to the finance ministry three years ago," the father said.
