The accused, who has to fly to Singapore for joining a BBA course, was earlier granted bail by Lajpat Nagar police as he was booked under IPC section 304 A (causing death by rash negligent acts), a mild provision which attracts maximum two years jail term.

The High Court had given the police the liberty to arrest Bhasin, prompting him to file the anticipatory bail application in the trial court.

A case under sections 279 (rash and negligent driving) and 337 (causing hurt and endangering life) of the IPC was registered against Bhasin.

After Anuj's death, another penal provision of 304A (causing death by rash and negligent acts) of the IPC was invoked against the accused. Later, the stringent provision of section 304 was also invoked against Bhasin.
