A Delhi court on Saturday granted a conditional bail to Gaganpreet Kaur, the accused in the luxury car crash, which killed a senior Finance Ministry official and grievously injured his wife.Gagandeep, 38, was allegedly driving the car that hit Navjot Singh, 52, a Deputy Secretary in the Economic Affairs Department of the Finance Ministry, and his wife, Sandeep Kaur, near Delhi Cantonment metro station on September 14. Sandeep survived with injuries, while Navjot succumbed.Judicial Magistrate Ankit Garg has directed the woman to surrender her passport and submit a personal bond of ₹1 lakh, along with two sureties of the same amount, as a condition for her release on bail.While pronouncing the conditional bail, the court observed that an ambulance reached the incident spot but remained there for around 30 seconds instead of rushing the injured to the nearest hospital.Seeking bail for Gagandeep, her lawyer earlier alleged that the Delhi Police is trying to convert an accident case into a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder. He also pointed out how the accused woman has children waiting for her back home. Published - September 28, 2025 01:46 am IST
