BMW crash case: Court defers Gaganpreet Kaur’s bail hearing

**BMW Crash Case: Court Defers Gaganpreet Kaur’s Bail Hearing**

*By Snehil Singh | September 20, 2025, 3:07 PM*

A Delhi court has postponed the bail hearing of Gaganpreet Kaur, the prime accused in a fatal BMW accident that resulted in the death of Deputy Secretary Navjot Singh and injuries to his wife, Sandeep.

The hearing in the Patiala House Court has been deferred to September 24 after the police requested additional time to collect key pieces of evidence, including Kaur’s mobile phone and driving license. Investigators informed Judicial Magistrate Ankit Garg that they oppose granting bail at this stage since the probe is still in its early phases.

**Evidence Collection Underway**

Kaur’s phone, currently held by her husband Parikshit Makkad, is considered crucial for the investigation. The police revealed that the device contains important messages sent after the crash. Makkad is expected to hand over the phone to authorities shortly.

Meanwhile, Gaganpreet Kaur remains in judicial custody until September 27. She faces charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and rash driving related to the accident.

**Preservation of CCTV Footage**

The court has also issued a notice on an application seeking the preservation of CCTV footage from the accident site. On Thursday, the court observed that there is no legal provision for sharing such footage with the accused in a criminal case.

The police have registered cases under several penal provisions, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, rash driving, and negligent driving, following the incident.

**Details of the Incident**

The accident occurred on September 14 around 1:00 PM near Dhaula Kuan. Navjot Singh and his wife were riding a motorcycle back from Bangla Sahib Gurdwara when they were struck by Kaur’s BMW. Parikshit Makkad was seated in the passenger seat of the BMW at the time of the crash.

Authorities are also investigating possible attempts to tamper with evidence after the accident. This includes probing Kaur’s alleged visit to a hospital located nearly 19 kilometers away from the accident site.

The investigation continues as the court awaits further developments before proceeding with the bail hearing.
