Delhi Court Grants Bail to BMW Crash Accused After CCTV Undercuts Homicide Case

The magistrate found the CCTV undermined the FIR narrative enough to justify conditional release during an ongoing BNS investigation.

Overview

  • Gaganpreet Kaur was released on a Rs 1 lakh personal bond with two sureties, with conditions including passport surrender and no contact with hospital staff or witnesses.
  • The court said footage showed the BMW lost control, hit a divider and flipped before contacting the motorcycle and a DTC bus, contradicting a direct rear‑ram claim.
  • Rapping first responders, the order noted an ambulance arrived within seconds yet left in roughly 40 seconds without aiding the unconscious victim, calling their conduct highly unprofessional.
  • The judge said the CCTV record weakened the prosecution’s theory under BNS Section 105 at this stage, bringing the incident closer to rash or negligent driving for bail assessment.
  • Allegations that the victims were taken to a hospital linked to a relative remain under probe, with the court noting the post‑mortem and speed and call/CCTV records are still awaited.
