**Delhi BMW Crash: Accused Claims Thousands of Accidents Happen Annually, Seeks Bail**

**New Delhi, India** – Gaganpreet Kaur, the woman arrested in connection with the fatal BMW crash that killed a senior finance ministry official, Navjot Singh, argued in a Delhi court on Wednesday that thousands of accidents occur in India each year. Kaur’s BMW struck Singh’s motorcycle in Delhi last week, resulting in his death and injuries to his wife.

During the bail hearing, Kaur’s counsel, Ramesh Gupta, stated that while the incident was unfortunate, it’s important to acknowledge the high number of accidents reported across the country annually. Gupta also raised questions about the involvement of a DTC bus and an ambulance, suggesting they should also be investigated in the case.

Kaur faces charges under sections 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 281 (rash driving), and 125B (endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Her lawyer questioned the invocation of section 105, arguing the court has the power to grant bail under the circumstances.

The prosecution questioned Kaur’s delay in informing the police about the accident and her decision to transport the victims to a hospital 19 kilometers away, which is co-owned by her father. This raised suspicions of a possible cover-up or tampering with evidence. The prosecution also pointed out the taxi driver at the scene had advised the accused to take the injured to a closer center. The Delhi Police also argued that the accused woman was not injured in the incident.

The Patiala House Court adjourned the bail hearing to Saturday.
