New Delhi, Sep 27 (NationPress) In the ongoing Delhi BMW accident case that tragically claimed the life of a senior Ministry of Finance official, the Patiala House Court has prolonged the judicial custody of Gaganpreet Kaur until September 27, with her bail plea slated for hearing today. The unfortunate event transpired in the Dhaula Kuan region earlier this month, where Gaganpreet Kaur is accused of colliding her BMW with a motorcycle, resulting in severe injuries and the subsequent death of Navjot Singh, a senior Ministry of Finance officer, along with critical injuries to his wife.

Gaganpreet Kaur, aged 38, was brought before the court after serving her initial two-day judicial custody period.

The presiding Judicial Magistrate, Ankit Garg, heard preliminary arguments concerning her bail request on Thursday, reserving the verdict for today.

The court is anticipated to reach a decision after examining the details of the case along with arguments presented by both the prosecution and defense.

During the proceedings on Thursday, the prosecution presented compelling claims, arguing that the BMW was exceeding the speed limit at the time of the incident and raised concerns regarding the handling of the aftermath.

Interestingly, the injured parties were not transported to the nearest hospital, despite several options being available close by. Instead, they were taken to Nulife Hospital in GTB Nagar, North Delhi, which is reportedly owned by a relative of Gaganpreet Kaur. The prosecution posited that this could be an effort to tamper with medical evidence or evade proper scrutiny.

The Investigating Officer (IO) presented CCTV footage from the day of the incident, which the magistrate reviewed during the session. This footage is expected to be instrumental in clarifying the sequence of events leading up to the fatal crash.

The complainant’s attorney, Atul Kumar, confirmed that the bail hearing is set for today. The court will assess whether Gaganpreet Kaur should be granted bail or remain in judicial custody as the investigation proceeds.

Gaganpreet faces charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and reckless driving. This case has attracted considerable public attention due to the high-profile nature of the victim and concerns over the timely and fair administration of justice.
