Court Denies Bail to Gaganpreet Kaur in Delhi BMW Case
A Delhi court has denied bail to Gaganpreet Kaur, the driver accused in the BMW crash that killed senior Finance Ministry official Navjot Singh. Her judicial custody has been extended until September 27, 2025.
Legal Charges & Arguments
Kaur faces charges including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, rash driving, and destruction of evidence. Her lawyer argued there was no intent or negligence, cited delays in filing the FIR, noted her children were in the car, and pointed out that even in serious cases, women often get bail.
Contentions Over Medical Care & Hospital Choice
The prosecution raised concerns that Navjot Singh was taken to NuLife Hospital in GTB Nagar, approximately 19-20 km away, instead of a closer hospital, despite pleas from Singh’s wife. Questions are being probed as to whether this choice had any malafide intent or whether evidence was tampered with.
Court Orders & Next Hearing
The court has directed preservation of all CCTV footage related to the crash. The next hearing for bail plea is set for Saturday, when arguments will continue over whether her extended custody remains justified.
