Today, On 20th September, The Delhi court has postponed Gaganpreet Kaur’s bail hearing in the BMW crash case to September 24. The police informed the court that her mobile phone and driving license are yet to be seized, prompting the delay.
A Delhi court postponed the hearing on Gaganpreet Kaur’s bail application until September 24, responding to the police’s request, which stated that they have yet to seize her mobile phone and driving license.
Judicial Magistrate Ankit Garg informed by investigators that they opposed granting bail at this time, as the investigation is still in its early stages. The police argued that the mobile phone Kaur used to contact family members after the accident is a vital piece of evidence.
The prosecution lawyer, stated,
“We have not yet recovered the mobile phone and driving licence of the accused,”
In response, Kaur’s defense counsel informed the court that her phone is currently with her husband and will be handed over to the police by Saturday evening. He also mentioned that Kaur’s driving license had been previously submitted to investigators, but if it is still not on record, her family would resubmit it.
Kaur has been arrested in connection with the death of Navjot Singh, Deputy Secretary in the Ministry of Finance, and the serious injuries sustained by his wife, Sandeep Kaur, in an accident on September 14 near Dhaula Kuan.
The incident occurred around 1 P.M. when the couple was returning from Bangla Sahib Gurdwara on a motorcycle and was struck by a BMW car allegedly driven by Kaur. Her husband, Parikshit, was a passenger in the vehicle at the time of the crash.
In a related matter, the court issued a notice to the police regarding a separate application from the accused, which requested the preservation of CCTV footage from the accident scene.
Earlier, On Thursday, the court noted that there is no legal provision allowing the sharing of CCTV footage with the accused in a criminal case.
Following the accident, the police registered a case under several penal provisions, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder and rash and negligent driving. They are also investigating potential attempts to tamper with evidence.
