On Saturday, a Delhi court postponed the bail application hearing of Gaganpreet Kaur, the primary suspect in the fatal Delhi BMW accident case, until September 24. The court accepted the police's request, citing that they had yet to recover her mobile phone and driving license.

Judicial Magistrate Ankit Garg was informed by investigators that they opposed granting bail at this stage, as the investigation remained in its early phases.

The prosecution argued against Kaur's release, emphasizing that the mobile phone she used to contact family members after the collision represented critical evidence.

"The mobile phone and driving license of the accused have not yet been recovered," the prosecution attorney stated.

Kaur's defense lawyer informed the court that her phone was currently with her husband and would be surrendered to police by Saturday evening.

The defense claimed that Kaur's driving license had previously been provided to investigators, but if it wasn't on record, the family would resubmit it to authorities.

Kaur was arrested in connection with the death of Navjot Singh, a Deputy Secretary in the Ministry of Finance, and serious injuries sustained by his wife, Sandeep Kaur, in a September 14 accident near Dhaula Kuan.

The deadly collision occurred around 1 P.M. on September 14, near the Delhi Cantt Metro Station. The victims were returning from Bangla Sahib Gurdwara on a motorcycle when they were struck by a BMW car, allegedly driven by Gaganpreet Kaur. Her husband, Parikshit, was in the passenger seat during the incident.

In a related development, the court issued notice to police regarding a separate application filed by the accused, requesting preservation of CCTV footage from the accident location.

The court had previously indicated on Thursday that no legal provision exists allowing CCTV footage to be shared with the accused in criminal proceedings.

Following the accident, police filed a case under various penal provisions, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and rash and negligent driving. Authorities are also investigating possible evidence tampering attempts.
