Controversy Over CCTV Footage in High-Profile Delhi Crash Case

A Delhi court has announced that no legal framework permits the sharing of CCTV footage with defendants in criminal cases, stirring controversy in a high-profile crash incident. The footage's significance is highlighted as the defense claims it holds the key to exonerating Gaganpreet Kaur, implicated in the fatal collision involving a senior finance ministry official.

The plea to preserve and examine the footage from specific metro pillars was put forth by Kaur's counsel, citing discrepancies in police statements. The court has ordered the investigating officer to appear for further proceedings, underscoring the footage's importance to the case's outcome.

Meanwhile, Gaganpreet Kaur is held in judicial custody with a bail hearing set for later this month, as the legal battle over evidence preservation intensifies. The court's decision may impact future judicial processes concerning the handling and access of pivotal evidence like CCTV footage.
