A court in the capital city granted bail to Gaganpreet Kaur, the key accused in the BMW accident case.
Judicial Magistrate Ankit Garg directed on Saturday that Kaur be released on a personal bond of ₹1 lakh along with two sureties of the same amount. He also asked her to surrender her passport as part of the bail condition.
The 38-year-old Kaur is accused of driving the BMW car that rammed into a two-wheeler being ridden by Navjot Singh, a senior finance ministry official, and his wife. While Singh, 52, died, his wife was grievously injured.

Kaur’s car had rammed into Singh’s two-wheeler on Ring Road, near the Delhi Cantonment Metro station, on September 14 when Singh and his wife were returning home after visiting the Bangla Sahib Gurdwara.
Before pronouncing the order, the details of which are awaited, the court noted that an ambulance reached the incident spot but remained there for around 30 seconds instead of rushing the injured to the nearest hospital. Singh later succumbed to his injuries.
He was a deputy secretary in the Department of Economic Affairs and lived in West Delhi's Hari Nagar.
An FIR was registered under Sections 281 (rash driving), 125B (endangering life or personal safety of others), 105 and 238 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the BNS.
