Section 304 carries a maximum punishment of life imprisonment.
Bhasin surrendered before police Sep 27, a day after his anticipatory bail was rejected by the Delhi High Court.
Bhasin’s car hit the two men on a motorcycle around 2.40 a.m. near Moolchand flyover in south Delhi.
While Anuj Singh, who was driving the motorbike, succumbed to his injuries a day later, Mrigank Srivastava, who was riding pillion, was injured.
