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.
