New Delhi : A Delhi court on Saturday granted bail to Gaganpreet Kaur, accused in the fatal BMW crash that killed a senior Finance Ministry official. The court has also imposed some conditions while granting bail, including depositing her passport and being present before the court at every hearing.
Kaur’s counsel accused the Delhi Police of playing hide and seek with the court by not producing CCTV footage related to the case. There’s no fault on my part. Even after taking the person to hospital, I’m said to be the villain,” Kaur conveyed through her lawyer. An ambulance reached there within seconds, and it remained there for 30 seconds. But did not take the injured to the hospital. Even though they did not have any emergency assignment and were going to the Army Base Hospital, the nearest hospital, the Court said.
The court asked the police, What should be done with this ambulance? Are they not accused of the offence of death due to a negligent act?” It further observed, The ambulance with paramedics was duty-bound to take the injured to the hospital. Paramedics inquired of the bystanders whether anybody wanted help. The best-equipped vehicle was present there. The ambulance left the spot within 30 seconds. Is it not the medical negligence?
Investigators later found that the couple was taken to Nulife Hospital in north Delhi, about 19 km from the accident site, a facility owned by a relative of the accused. Singh’s family alleged that crucial time was lost because the victims were not taken to a nearby hospital and that the accused received treatment before the victims. In her defence, Kaur told police she panicked after the accident and drove to a hospital she knew, as her daughter had once been treated there during the Covid-19 pandemic.
