Gurugram Biker Hit-and-Run: Police Add Attempt-to-Murder Charge After CCTV Analysis
Gurugram Police on Tuesday detained accused Kalyan Bainsla in Dausa, Rajasthan, after adding an attempt-to-murder charge in connection with the alleged hit-and-run involving a woman biker on Golf Course Road. The move came after police analysed CCTV footage of the incident.
Kalyan Baisla will now be brought from Dausa to Gurugram by the Gurugram Police for further investigation.
Police have invoked Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deals with attempt to murder. The provision carries a punishment of up to 10 years in prison.
The development comes after a video of the Gurugram hit-and-run incident went viral on social media. The footage appeared to show a car crashing into a woman riding a motorcycle before leaving the spot.
Following the CCTV analysis, police added the attempt-to-murder charge to the case.
The case was initially registered under Section 281, relating to rash driving, and Section 125, relating to causing injury, of the BNS. Police had earlier said the accused had been identified and that three teams had been formed to trace and apprehend him.
The incident took place on Sunday on Golf Course Road. The woman, who has identified herself as Sia on social media, was riding an Aprilia RS 457 with a group of bikers when the alleged hit-and-run took place.
Sia suffered minor injuries but has said that she continues to experience physical pain as well as the emotional impact of the Gurugram road incident.
Speaking exclusively to CNN-News18, Sia said, “My knees hurt, my whole body aches. I want to recover soon," she said, adding, “I have been under immense shock."
She also recalled the driver's behaviour before the collision.
“I have no idea when the car came on Golf Course Road. He showed thumbs up first and then he kept giving strange signals," she told CNN-News18.
Sia had alleged on social media that the car followed her group before moving close to her motorcycle. She claimed that the occupants misbehaved with her and asked her to stop after she told them to maintain a safe distance. She also alleged that they appeared to be intoxicated.
The viral footage shows the car hitting her motorcycle and then leaving the area.
Speaking to the media, he said he was travelling with his sister and two cousins when the incident took place.
“I was travelling with my family. I didn’t make any gestures at the young woman; I simply asked her to ride her bike slowly. I admit that a collision occurred. Had I stopped right then, those people would have beaten us up," he said.
Bainsla claimed that around 20 to 22 motorcyclists had overtaken his car and that he did not initially realise that a woman was among them.
“She was turning without checking her mirrors; just then, near a U-turn, I lost control of the car, and the collision occurred. It was my fault; I admit it," he said.
He further claimed that he had considered stopping after the collision but decided against it after the bikers allegedly abused him.
“My family was with me, so I feared they might beat us up if we stopped. I even stopped the car at a red light to speak to them and explained that it wasn’t my fault. After that, my brother refused to stop there," he said.
“There isn’t a single case against me from the past. Now, I am being harassed," he added.
“My client was returning from a relative’s place in Delhi with his family. Around 25 riders were constantly overtaking my client; the woman was driving at 140-170 kmph when she took a right, and my client took a left, which resulted in the collision."
The car involved in the incident is registered in the name of Manish, who said he was not driving the vehicle at the time of the collision.
“I work in the Army, and yes, it is my vehicle. I was at work, and my friend Kalyan Singh had borrowed my car," Manish said.
His uncle Kartar Poswal also said that Bainsla had borrowed the vehicle and that the family was unaware of his whereabouts.
“Strict action must be taken against such individuals," he said.
Sia later said she would pursue legal action and file an FIR with her lawyer. She also requested news organisations not to reveal her identity or show her face.
Bainsla has since deactivated his Instagram account following the controversy.
Gurugram Police has reiterated that it follows a zero-tolerance policy towards road rage, reckless driving and unlawful conduct on the roads. Police said strict action would be taken against anyone found involved in the incident.
