BMW case: HC to decide Nanda's fate today

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court will give its verdict in the infamous BMW hit-and-run case on Monday.

A trial court had convicted and sentenced Sanjeev Nanda, grandson of former Naval chief SM Nanda, to five years imprisonment for mowing down six persons with his car in 1999.

Justice Kailash Gambhir, who had reserved the judgement in May, will pass the verdict on petitions filed by three convicts, including Nanda, challenging the trial court order.

Besides Nanda, the court had also convicted Rajiv Gupta and Bhola Nath and sentenced them to one year and six months in jail, respectively.

Challenging his conviction in the case, Nanda argued that the trial court had convicted him under "media pressure" and on presumption devoid of evidence.
