Gurugram hit-and-run survivor vows to fight on as police hunt accused
Sia, a woman biker rammed by a sedan in Gurugram, has vowed to pursue justice as police form five teams to arrest the accused, Kalyan Bainsla.
A woman biker who survived a hit-and-run in Gurugram has said she will not abandon her pursuit of justice, as police continue searching for the man accused of ramming her motorcycle with a sedan.
The survivor, identified as Sia, was struck on Golf Course Road in what she has described as a deliberate attack captured on camera. The accused, Kalyan Bainsla, remains at large 48 hours after the incident.
In an interview, Sia said she would set an example so that anyone intending to harass women bikers thinks twice. Addressing the accused directly, she said the entire biking community stood with her, regardless of how many interviews he gave from hiding.
She questioned how ordinary citizens in cities like Gurugram and Delhi could feel safe when authorities appeared unable to act. Sia said the incident was a clear case of hit-and-run and an attempt to murder, and asked why the law and order machinery seemed to respond only after a biker is killed.
She also criticised what she called unequal enforcement, noting that traffic police are quick to penalise bikers for violations such as exhaust issues, while four-wheeler drivers who drive rashly face little scrutiny.
Sia said footage from the incident showed multiple violations, including black tint on the sedan's windows, jumping a red light and the hit-and-run itself. She alleged the driver was drunk and hit her deliberately.
Bainsla, in an earlier video, claimed he did not know whether the biker was a man or a woman and said only one side of the incident had been presented. He also questioned why videos involving one of Sia's male friends had not surfaced.
Sia rejected his account, saying her video clearly showed who was trying to corner whom. She dismissed his claim that he was unaware a woman was riding the motorcycle, saying he had come close to her, seen her hair, made gestures and signalled for her to stop.
Her father, Rohshan Chauhan, said Bainsla's remarks that his daughter had staged the incident for social media views revealed his mentality. He alleged his daughter was hit while the accused was under the influence of intoxicants, and said police were recording statements. The family, he said, would not let the matter rest until the accused is punished.
Police said they have formed five teams to trace Bainsla and are searching possible hideouts. They are also examining CCTV cameras on Golf Course Road to corroborate details of the incident.
