Lawyer Claims Gurugram Hit-and-Run Driver Fled Fearing Mob Lynching
A woman biker named Sia was riding with other motorcyclists in Gurugram.
A white car came near her and allegedly hit her motorcycle.
She fell and received minor injuries.
The car driver left instead of stopping to help her.
Police later detained the driver, Kalyan Bainsla, in Rajasthan.
His lawyer says the bikers were speeding and provoking him.
The lawyer also says Bainsla feared that a crowd would attack him if he stopped.
Sia says the people in the car harassed her and that the driver should have stopped after the crash.
