IAS coaching centre deaths: Delhi court reserves order on accused driver's bail plea

Delhi: The Tis Hazari court on Thursday reserved its order on the bail plea of Manuj Kathuria, an 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.

After hearing his bail plea, Additional Sessions Judge Rakesh Kumar-IV reserved the order.

Meanwhile, Delhi police have filed a status report on the bail plea of Kathuria. Police said that they are not pressing section 105 (Culpable Homicide not amounting to murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

The counsel for the accused submitted that now all offences are bailable. Bail is right of accused now.

This plea follows the Tis Hazari court's dismissal on Wednesday of bail applications from Kathuria and four others involved in the case. ANI
