Utsav Bhasin convicted in 2008 BMW hit-and-run case

New Delhi, May 5:  A court here on Friday convicted Utsav Bhasin, the son of a Haryana-based industrialist, of causing death by rash and negligent driving in the 2008 BMW hit-and-run case in south Delhi.

Additional Sessions Judge Sanjeev Kumar convicted Bhasin, accused of ramming his BMW car into a motorcycle and killing a man in 2008, under sections 304-A (causing death by rash and negligent act), 279 (driving rashly which could endanger human life) and 338 (causing grievous hurt) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

However, the court acquitted him of a harsher section 304-B (culpable homicide not amounting to murder).

Bhasin was driving his BMW car when he allegedly hit the two-wheeler on Moolchand flyover in south Delhi, killing the motorcyclist Anuj Singh on September 11, 2008.
