Gurugram Police on Tuesday (September 15, 2026) arrested Kalyan Bainsla, the driver accused of fleeing after hitting a woman biker on Golf Course Road, and added an attempt-to-murder charge to the case after analysing CCTV footage of the incident, Gurugram ACP Abhilaksh Joshi told The Hindu.

Mr. Bainsla was allegedly arrested in Rajgarh, Rajasthan and is being brought back to Gurugram.

The case was registered at the Sector 56 police station after a video showing the collision went viral on social media on Monday (September 14, 2026). The police had taken suo motu cognisance of the footage and launched an investigation.

During the investigation, the police examined CCTV footage from the area and, based on their findings, added Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which pertains to attempt to murder, to the FIR, Mr. Joshi said. Meanwhile the victim Sia approached the police station with a written complaint on Monday (September 14, 2026) night.

The provision prescribes imprisonment of up to 10 years, according to the police.

The woman biker alleged that Mr. Bainsla’s car followed her before hitting her motorcycle on Golf Course Road and fleeing the spot. She was thrown off her bike in the collision and has suffered injuries to her knees.

Mr. Bainsla had denied deliberately hitting the biker and claimed that the collision was accidental. He had also denied fleeing the scene.

The police action comes a day after the rider’s video of the incident sparked widespread reactions on social media, with users urging the Gurugram Police to identify and take action against the driver.

A day after a video showing a car hitting her motorcycle on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road went viral, biker Sia has hit back at the driver’s claim that the collision was accidental, questioning why he did not stop to check whether she was injured after the crash.

In a video statement posted on Instagram late Monday (September 14, 2026), Sia said the footage showed the car following the group before the collision and rejected the driver’s claim that he had been trying to avoid the bikers. She also questioned his assertion that he did not know the rider was a woman.

“It is very clear from the original video who was pinching whom. Even if you felt we were changing speed, that does not give you the right to chase us all the way,” she said.

The driver, identified as Kalyan Baisla, has denied deliberately hitting Sia. He claimed that a group of 22–23 bikers was riding aggressively, repeatedly overtaking his car and slowing down in front of it. He said Sia suddenly turned while he was taking a U-turn, leaving him little time to react, and that he had tried to avoid the collision.

Sia, however, said there were two separate recordings of the collision, including footage from her motorcycle-mounted camera. “One video shows you switching directly from the first to the third lane to hit and then run away. Another video, recorded by my camera from the front, shows you hitting me and your car violently colliding with my bike, eventually making me fall and drag on the road,” she said.

She questioned why the driver did not stop after the collision, regardless of who was at fault. “Aren’t these two videos enough? Why did you not stop to check on me? It was your responsibility to stop and check whether I had suffered any injuries after you knocked me down,” she said.

Sia said she suffered injuries to her knees and credited her riding gear with protecting her from more serious injuries.

“I am grateful to God that I was wearing my riding shoes and riding gloves. If I hadn’t been wearing my riding shoes and gloves, the impact on my hand could have even broken my shoulder. My leg could have been broken too,” she said.

She also questioned the driver’s claim that he did not know she was a woman. “He saw my long hair from behind, he gestured and asked me to stop,” she said.

In a statement on Tuesday morning (September 15), Sia again rejected the driver’s version and said she had no reason to deliberately ride close to or cut off a car. She alleged that the video showed an intentional hit and described the incident as a hit-and-run.

“The whole country has seen the video showing exactly what happened, and obviously, the driver is at fault. It’s a hit-and-run case; the video shows an intentional hit, amounting to attempted murder,” she said.

Sia also questioned the police response, saying the Gurugram Police had contacted her through Instagram after her video went viral. She alleged that despite the vehicle’s registration number being included in her original post, the driver had not been arrested.

“He hit someone, left them on the road to die, and drove off; yet, he is still roaming around freely. He’s giving soundbites to news reporters and presenting his side of the story. How is he getting so much time? Why isn’t the police arresting him?” she said.

She criticised what she described as an uneven focus on bikers, saying traffic enforcement often targets riders for issues such as exhaust modifications while questions remain over action against motorists accused of dangerous driving.

“If you impose so many restrictions on bikers in Gurgaon, you should also look at those driving four-wheelers. What are you doing about the people driving so rashly?” she said.

Sia said the incident had left her questioning the safety of women riding on roads in Gurugram and Delhi. She thanked those who had supported her after the video went viral and said she hoped the incident would encourage motorists to drive more responsibly.

The Gurugram Police had earlier taken suo motu cognisance of the video after it came to their notice through social media monitoring and registered an FIR at Sector 56 police station. Police have said the accused would be identified during the investigation and legal action would follow under the relevant provisions.
