**Delhi BMW Crash: Court Grants Bail to Gaganpreet Kaur**

*By Snehil Singh | Sep 27, 2025, 05:06 PM*

A Delhi court has granted bail to Gaganpreet Kaur, the accused in a fatal BMW crash that resulted in the death of a senior Finance Ministry official. The Patiala House Court approved her bail on a bond of ₹1 lakh, along with two sureties.

The court imposed several conditions for her release, including the surrender of her passport and a requirement to be present at every hearing related to the case.

**Ambulance Scrutiny: Questions Raised Over Negligence**

During proceedings, the court questioned the negligence of the ambulance that arrived at the accident site. Although the ambulance reportedly reached within seconds, it failed to take the injured to the hospital promptly.

The court remarked, “What should be done with this ambulance? Are they not accused of the offense of death due to a negligent act?” indicating serious concerns regarding the emergency response.

**Crash Details and Aftermath**

The accident took place near Dhaula Kuan when Gaganpreet Kaur’s BMW collided with a motorcycle carrying Navjot Singh, Deputy Secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs, and his wife, Sandeep Kaur.

Tragically, Singh succumbed to his injuries, while his wife sustained critical injuries. Investigations revealed that the couple was transported to Nulife Hospital in North Delhi, approximately 19 kilometers away from the accident location.

Singh’s family has alleged that valuable time was lost because the victims were not urgently taken to a nearby hospital.

**Legal Proceedings**

Gaganpreet Kaur has been charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder, among other offenses under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. She is currently in judicial custody but has now been granted bail under strict conditions.

Kaur defended her actions by stating that she panicked after the accident and took the injured couple to a hospital she was familiar with.

The case continues to develop as the investigation and legal process proceed.

BMW accident: Delhi court says CCTV footage cannot be shared with accused

Leave a comment

Advocate Gagan Bhatnagar, representing Kaur, argued that the case hinged on CCTV footage from Dhaula Kuan metro pillars 65 and 67, and that examining it could reveal additional details. However, the magistrate stated that there is no law permitting the footage to be provided to the accused, reported PTI.

Kaur’s counsel responded, “I am not saying give it to me but to preserve it and submit it in the court.”

Bhatnagar further alleged that the investigating officer (IO) gave an evasive reply, stating that a notice had been sent to the person concerned to provide the footage to Delhi Police. He added that senior police officials had previously stated they had watched the footage, contrary to the IO’s reply.

The court directed the IO to appear on Friday and issued a notice to the station house officer of Dhaula Kuan Police Station. The hearing will continue on Friday, reported PTI.

Opposing the bail plea, the Delhi Police stated that the accused was not seriously injured despite having admitted herself to the intensive care unit (ICU). They also highlighted that she took the injured to a hospital far away from the spot, which raises serious doubt, according to news agency ANI.

Kaur has been remanded to judicial custody until September 27, and her bail plea is scheduled for Saturday.

The victim, 52-year-old Navjot Singh, served as the deputy secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs and was a resident of Hari Nagar. He succumbed to injuries following the accident, which took place on Ring Road near the Delhi Cantonment Metro station on the afternoon of September 14. Singh and his wife were returning home after visiting Bangla Sahib Gurdwara.

A case has been registered under Sections 281 (rash driving), 125B (endangering life or personal safety of others), 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), and 238 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the BNS.
