Biker hit in Gurugram: Car Chased, Rammed, Fled; Driver Arrested With Attempt-To-Murder Charge
Gurugram, 15th September 2026: A sport-biker known as Sia was knocked off her Aprilia RS 457 on Gurgaon’s Golf Course Road after she alleged a car repeatedly tailgated and harassed her group, then collided with her bike and fled; police later added an attempt-to-murder charge and arrested the accused driver from Rajasthan.
Sia, real name Shivani Chauhan, who runs the Instagram handle @rebelwheels_sia_, was riding with a group of bikers on Sunday morning when, she says, a white sedan began following them aggressively on Golf Course Road. In footage recorded on an action camera mounted on her motorcycle, the car is seen closing in, coming dangerously close to her bike, and then striking it from the side as it attempted to overtake. The impact threw Sia onto the road; her bike was dragged for several metres before the car sped away without stopping. Sia later said the occupants appeared intoxicated, made gestures toward her, and asked her to stop the bike despite her requests to keep distance. “I felt unsafe on Gurgaon roads,” she said, describing the moment as a deliberate act rather than an accident.
What turned the incident into a viral story was what happened next. According to reports, a friend in Sia’s group chased the car after the collision and cornered the driver at a traffic signal. The driver, however, denied responsibility and drove off again, leaving the group with only the vehicle’s details and the dashcam footage. That video—showing the near-misses, the impact, and the aftermath—was posted by Sia on Instagram with an appeal to Gurgaon Police to act.
Gurgaon Police took suo motu cognisance of the viral clip and registered an FIR at Sector 56 police station under sections for rash driving and endangering life. After Sia released a second video alleging the collision was intentional and her father publicly demanded stricter charges, police escalated the case. On Tuesday, they added attempt-to-murder (Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita) to the FIR—a provision that can carry up to 10 years’ imprisonment. The accused was identified as Kalyan Bainsla, a gym owner and former kabaddi player from Palwal. He was detained in Dausa, Rajasthan, and formally arrested by Gurgaon Police on Tuesday.
In statements to media, Bainsla admitted the collision happened but denied it was deliberate, calling it an accident. The car’s owner, Manish, told reporters that a friend had borrowed the vehicle and had since become unreachable—claims that emerged even as police intensified their hunt. Sia and her family have pushed back hard. Her father said the act was intentional and that only a serious charge would reflect the danger she faced. Sia herself told NDTV: “It was a clear hit-and-run and attempt-to-murder case,” adding she wants to ensure “nobody harasses a woman biker again.”
Beyond the legal specifics, the incident has reignited conversations about how women riders are treated on Indian roads, the thin line between road rage and criminal intimidation, and whether dashcam evidence can force faster accountability. Sia’s decision to go public—naming the behaviour, sharing unedited footage, and pressing for a graver charge—has made this more than a traffic case. It’s now a reference point for how harassment on the road can escalate into violence, and how quickly public pressure can change the trajectory of an investigation.
