Court Denies Bail in Delhi Biker Death Case

A Delhi court has denied anticipatory bail to two contractors, Himanshu Gupta and Kavish Gupta, implicated in the tragic death of a 25-year-old motorcyclist. The fatal incident occurred when the biker fell into an unsecured pit dug by the Delhi Jal Board in Janakpuri.

Additional Sessions Judge Harleen Kaur, who dismissed the bail pleas, highlighted the significant societal impact of the case. Meanwhile, Rajesh Kumar Prajapati, an accused sub-contractor, was denied regular bail and remains in police custody for allegedly delaying emergency response to the scene.

So far, two arrests have been made, and three Delhi Jal Board officials have been suspended. The case has raised concerns over safety practices in public infrastructure projects, attracting significant public and media scrutiny.
