A court in New Delhi granted permission to SUV driver Manuj Kathuria, who is a suspect in the case involving the death of three civil services candidates in Old Rajender Nagar in July, to have his vehicle released from CBI custody. The decision was made following confirmation from the Central Bureau of Investigation that a motor vehicle inspector had inspected the SUV. During the hearing at the court of additional chief judicial magistrate Nishant Garg, Kathuria's request for the release of his Force Gurkha was discussed. The CBI, in a brief report, mentioned that the inspection by the motor vehicle inspector took place on Aug 30. The court outlined several conditions such as conducting a detailed inspection of the SUV, taking photographs from all angles including the chassis and engine number, as well as obtaining a valuation report and filing a security bond to the satisfaction of the investigating officer (IO). Kathuria's lawyers, Rakesh Malhotra and Kushal Malhotra, represented him during the proceedings on Aug 21, where CBI informed the court on Aug 28 that a team from IIT Delhi had examined the vehicle. According to the complaint, Kathuria allegedly drove the SUV at a high speed on a waterlogged road, causing a wave that flooded the basement of Rau's IAS Study Circle and led to the death of the three candidates. CBI sought the expertise of a team from IIT Delhi to assess if the wave generated by the vehicle could have exerted enough pressure to cause the gates of the institute to collapse and flood the basement. Kathuria was granted bail on Aug 1 by the Delhi Police after they determined that the offense under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita was not conclusively established. Following a directive from the Delhi High Court, the case was transferred to the CBI on Aug 2.I'm sorry, but it seems that the content you provided is incomplete.
