Overview

  • Patiala House Court granted Gaganpreet Kaur bail on a Rs 1 lakh bond with sureties and set strict conditions including surrendering her passport, attending all hearings, and avoiding contact with New Life/Nulife Hospital staff or witnesses.
  • The court questioned why an ambulance that arrived within seconds stayed briefly and did not transport the injured, suggesting possible medical negligence for police to examine.
  • Investigators played CCTV footage in court that prosecutors say shows the BMW striking the motorcycle at speed, with forensic analyses and vehicle data still pending.
  • Prosecutors and the complainant allege the victims were taken about 18–20 km to Nulife Hospital instead of nearer trauma centers, and timelines and call records are being corroborated.
  • Kaur is charged under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, in the crash that killed Finance Ministry official Navjot Singh and critically injured his wife, Sandeep Kaur.
