Court reserves judgment on bail plea

NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday reserved judgment on an anticipatory bail application by Utsav Bhasin, facing prosecution in the recent BMW hit-and-run case.

Justice Veena Birbal reserved the judgment following conclusion of arguments by counsel for the accused and the prosecution. The Court had on Tuesday refused to give the accused protection against arrest in the case. A Sessions court here had last week dismissed his anticipatory bail application.

The police had initially booked Utsav under Section 304-A but had later amended the FIR and added the non-bailable Section 304 to it following the death of Anuj Singh, one of the victims. Utsav had rammed his BMW car into the two-wheeler on which Anuj Singh was pillion-riding on Sept. 11. Anuj later succumbed to his injuries in hospital.
