New Video Surfaces in Gurugram Hit-and-Run; Fellow Rider Alleges Car Was Tailgating
A new rider's-eye video of the Gurugram hit-and-run shows a white sedan striking a woman biker on Golf Course Road; a fellow rider alleges the car was tailgating her.
A fresh video has surfaced in the Gurugram hit-and-run case, offering a second angle of the collision in which a white sedan struck a woman's motorcycle on Golf Course Road.
The new footage, shared on Instagram by a rider who was travelling behind her, differs from the clip captured by the camera mounted on the woman's Aprilia RS 457 sports bike, which recorded the crash from her own motorcycle. The latest recording presents a rider's-eye view from behind and shows the car closing in on the motorcycle before the impact, which throws the woman off the bike and sends her skidding along the road.
The woman had been riding with a group of bikers when the white sedan began following her, according to her family and her own account posted on social media. The alleged driver has been identified as Kalyan Bainsla.
The rider who filmed the new video, who posts on Instagram as youknowabhishek_, alleged in his caption that the driver hit the woman on purpose. He said the man had asked her to stop, and when she did not, for her own safety, he struck her and fled.
Recounting the sequence of events, the rider said he was on the road when the woman, who uses the handle rebelwheels_sia_ on Instagram, overtook him, and he noticed a car chasing her. He described the vehicle as tailgating the motorcycle very closely and said the behaviour struck him as odd. He initially wondered whether the driver was a follower or someone trying to speak to her, and decided to position himself between the car and the motorcycle.
According to his account, the driver lowered his window and gestured towards the woman, who responded with a hand signal indicating that he should stay away. When the rider moved closer to the car, the driver lowered his own window and made a gesture that appeared to mean she should stop. The rider claimed that three men were inside the vehicle and that they were drunk, adding that the car's windows were heavily tinted.
The group then reached the area near Central Plaza, where the road changed and the vehicles approached an intersection. The rider alleged that the car accelerated after the turn. He said another vehicle came in front of his motorcycle, forcing him to slow down, and that the woman was moving towards the side of the road to let the car pass when it struck her motorcycle.
He said he panicked after the collision but, knowing his camera was recording, began chasing the car because people had already gathered around the woman. He wanted to capture the driver's face, and eventually caught up with the vehicle at a red light where other riders were present. He tried to alert them to stop the car, but said the situation unfolded too quickly for anyone to grasp what was happening. The driver rolled down his window, allowing his photograph to be captured — the same image that later went viral on social media.
The rider said he kept recording because he wanted to document the driver's identity after the crash.
