Gurgaon BMW crash: police say driver not a suspect

A Gurgaon court on Monday did not consider the anticipatory bail plea of Rajesh, the alleged driver of a BMW car which crashed into another vehicle in Gurgaon killing a pregnant lady , after the police said they had not found any evidence of his involvement in the case. Gurgaon police did not oppose the bail of Rajesh, saying that despite his claims, initial investigations had established he was not behind the wheel at the time of the accident. The chauffeur had surrendered to the police last week and had said he was driving the speeding car at the time of the incident.
