Singh’s passenger, his 24-year-old girlfriend Arshdeep Kaur, died on impact.

After being charged with dangerous driving causing death and careless driving, he faced the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Saturday, which heard he had worked as a truck driver for three years.

The court also heard Singh is in Australia on a bridging visa and has had had no criminal convictions or a record of bad driving in his six years in the country.

Singh was granted bail with a $25,000 surety. He must report to police twice a week and is not allowed to leave Victoria or drive any sort of motor vehicle.

Outside the court Singh’s lawyer Hayden Rattray said: “Mr Singh asked me to express his condolences to the family of the young woman who passed away”.

A GoFundMe has been set up to help Kaur’s family.

In the fundraiser she was described as a “kind and vibrant student”.

“Her sudden passing has deeply affected her friends and family, both here and in India. Arshdeep came to Australia with big dreams that ended far too soon.”

Singh will face court again in November.
