Gurugram Biker Case: Bainsla Detained, Attempt-to-Murder Charge Added
A car hit a woman riding a sports motorcycle in Gurugram.
The crash happened on Golf Course Road on Sunday.
Videos appear to show the car moving into the motorcycle’s path and then driving away.
Police later added an attempt-to-murder charge to the case.
They said this charge can lead to up to 10 years in prison.
The rider, Shivani Chauhan, says the driver deliberately targeted her and should have stopped to help.
The accused, Kalyan Bainsla, says the crash was accidental and that he left because he feared being attacked.
Police said he was detained in Rajasthan on Tuesday, although an earlier report said he was still being sought.
Gurugram Police detained Kalyan Bainsla in Rajasthan on Tuesday after identifying him through CCTV footage.
Police added Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, an attempt-to-murder provision carrying up to 10 years’ imprisonment.
Video footage shows a white sedan striking Shivani Chauhan, known as Sia, on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road on Sunday before leaving the scene.
Sia alleges Bainsla deliberately targeted her and failed to check whether she was injured; police say another video shows him signalling her to stop before the collision.
Bainsla admits the crash was his fault but denies intentionally hitting her, saying he lost control near a U-turn and fled because he feared retaliation from bikers.
