COACHING CENTRE DEATHS: COURT GRANTS BAIL TO ACCUSED SUV DRIVER

He was accused of driving recklessly, causing water to flood the basement

- 

Delhi's Tis Hazari court on Thursday granted bail to Manuj Kathuria, the SUV driver accused in the deaths of three UPSC aspirants at a coaching centre in Old Rajinder Nagar.

It was alleged that he drove his vehicle in a rash and negligent manner that caused water to enter the basement.

Additional Sessions Judge Rakesh Kumar-IV granted bail to Manuj Kathuria on furnishing a bail bond of Rs 50,000 and a surety in the like amount. However, his bail bond could not be furnished due to reason that the concerned and duty judicial magistrate had risen by the time the order was supplied to the counsel for the accused.

The Judge said that from the perusal of the record, it appears that the present accused was implicated in over-enthusiasm while he has been charged under section 105 of BNS which is non-bailable.
