New Delhi: A Delhi court today granted
regular bail to the accused who was allegedly driving a BMW
car involved in an accident in which an old man died recently.
Metropolitan Magistrate Savitri asked accused Raman
Singla to furnish a personal and surety bond of Rs 20,000 each
as a precondition of his release.
Meanwhile, the police moved an application seeking
seizure of the passport of the accused. The plea, however, was
opposed by defence lawyer R S Raghav.
The court has fixed the matter on April 21 for further
hearing on the issue.
Om Dutt Chauhan, a resident of east Delhi, was killed
when he was run over by a BMW car while he was on his morning
walk near Akshardham temple in east Delhi on April 8.
Earlier, the court had extended the interim bail till
today of the accused who was freed within hours of the
accident.
The three occupants of the BMW car, driven by Singla,
also suffered injuries. Singla is a resident of Madhu Vihar
near Karkardooma.
