Delhi Court Grants Bail to BMW Crash Accused After CCTV Points to Loss of Control

The judge faulted ambulance staff for failing to assist within seconds of the crash, weakening the prosecution’s golden-hour claim.

Overview

  • The case stems from a Dhaula Kuan collision earlier this month that killed Finance Ministry officer Navjot Singh and left his wife grievously injured.
  • CCTV reviewed by the court contradicted the FIR’s rear-hit narrative, showing the car lose control, strike a divider, flip, and then contact a motorcycle and a DTC bus.
  • The order notes Delhi Police produced no material to establish excessive speed on the stretch, despite the presence of speed cameras.
  • The court recorded that an ambulance arrived within seconds but did not check the victim or provide first aid and the victim was moved after roughly seven minutes.
  • Bail was granted as a proportional step while the probe continues into charges including culpable homicide and rash driving, with the post-mortem report and other forensic analyses still awaited.
