✦AI Summary
A Delhi court granted bail to a head chef accused of criminal negligence following a fatal B&B fire. The judge ruled that performing routine kitchen tasks does not constitute criminal liability for structural or safety failures.
Holding that merely operating kitchen appliances as part of his employment could not by itself amount to criminal negligence, a Delhi court on Monday granted bail to Keshar Negi, the head chef arrested in connection with the June 3 fire at the Flourish Stay Bed & Breakfast in Malviya Nagar, in which 23 people, including several foreign nationals, lost their lives.
