In 1999, Sanjeev Nanda, grandson of the Indian Navy Chief and Indian arms trader Suresh Nanda's son crashed and killed six people, including three police officers. While Nanda and related parties were initially acquitted and released in court in 1999, Nanda was later found guilty in 2008 and sentenced to two years in prison, reduced by time served, a large fine, and two years of community service by the Supreme Court of India on 2012. This case attracts media attention, and is viewed by India Today as a "judicial system capability test for taking power".

The hit-and-run case
On the morning of January 10, 1999, Sanjeev Nanda returned from a late night party in Gurgaon with some friends.
Nanda is reported to have been instructed by her parents not to drive that night, but keeps on driving. There was a police checkpoint at Lodhi Road and it seemed the cop might have challenged the car, though it might have been so fast that it was out of control. Sanjeev's BMW hit everyone at a police checkpoint, immediately killing two policemen and two others. Other police and others died in the hospital later. The seventh survivor survived.
After running through the police, he allegedly stopped the car to check the damage, saw the people under the car, and according to the prosecutor, at this point a passenger together said: "Come on," and they quickly left. The car was then taken to a house in Golf Links, New Delhi, where a guard and driver were ordered to clean up bumper and hood. Next the police accused these three men with destructive evidence. A few days later, a witness came forward to describe the scene. At the time of the accident, he was on his way to the train station.

NDTV blockage operation
NDTV conducted a raid operation in which defense lawyers filmed offered money to a witness. Then the Delhi High Court blocked supporters for four months.
Investigation
A broken car registration plate was found at the scene the next morning. Initial investigations indicate that the car will run at 140 km/h when crashing into the victim.
Within hours of the incident, Inspector Jagdish Pandey from the Delhi Police Police Control Room traced the car by trailing an oil leak to the level of the crash site. They find a one-month-old car, purchased under the name of his younger sister Sonali Nanda, with a foreign number plate, which has not been registered in India. Attempts to clean it are still going on. Nanda and her friends were arrested, but her clothes, and other people who helped clean the car, were never found. Nanda and her friends are accused of murder in court.
Retries
This case was put forward for trial and a quick trial. On September 2, 2008, Nanda was convicted by a Delhi court for killing six people. On August 3, 2012, the Supreme Court reduced his jail sentence for two years spent in jail, but the court added a large fine, and punished Nanda for two years of community service.
In popular culture
This case inspired the Bollywood film Jolly LLB (2013), starring Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani.
