Delhi Court Grants Bail to BMW Crash Accused After CCTV Undercuts FIR Narrative

The judge said the video points to loss of control rather than deliberate ramming, weakening the case for culpable homicide at this stage.

Overview

  • Gaganpreet Kaur was released on a ₹1 lakh personal bond with two sureties, with conditions that include surrendering her passport, appearing at each hearing, and not contacting witnesses or Nulife Hospital staff.
  • The court said CCTV shows the car hit a divider, flipped, and then came into contact with the motorcycle and a bus, contradicting a simple rear-end ramming account.
  • An ambulance and paramedic who arrived within seconds but left without assisting were sharply criticised as unprofessional, with the court saying their conduct contributed to the golden-hour lapse and questioning possible negligence.
  • The order noted the DTC bus that came into contact with the motorcycle did not stop, and it recorded that the accused did not abscond from the scene.
  • Police charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, remain on record as the investigation continues, with the post-mortem and other forensic material still awaited; prosecutors have also questioned the decision to take the victims to a hospital 18–19 km away allegedly linked to the accused's relative.
