Overview
- Judicial Magistrate Ankit Garg reviewed the Delhi Police filing, took cognisance, and issued a summons to Gaganpreet Makkad for a hearing at Patiala House Courts on February 2.
- Police cite a BMW speed report indicating the SUV was traveling about 100–110 km/h on a 50 km/h stretch near Delhi Cantonment Metro Station.
- Investigators allege Makkad bypassed nearby major hospitals and drove the injured to Nulife Hospital roughly 20 km away in about 23 minutes, asserting links between her and the facility’s owners.
- The postmortem, as recorded by the court, suggests the victim either died at the scene or could have survived 5–15 minutes, a detail police say underscores a loss of critical trauma-care time.
- Makkad is chargesheeted under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including Section 105 for culpable homicide, along with offences tied to rash driving and disappearance of evidence, and police say she refused on-scene ambulance assistance.
