Gurugram Hit-and-Run Accused Sent To Two-Day Police Remand
A woman named Sia was riding her motorcycle in Gurugram when a car allegedly hit her and drove away.
A camera on her motorcycle recorded the incident, and the video spread online.
Police arrested Kalyan Bainsla, who was allegedly driving the car, and Lovneesh, who was reportedly inside it.
A court ordered both men to remain with police for two days.
Police say they need time to investigate, learn about other possible accused people, and recreate what happened.
They also added an attempt-to-murder charge after reviewing CCTV footage.
The defence says the riders were speeding and caused the crash.
The case is still being investigated, and the competing claims have not been resolved by the court.
A Gurugram court sent Kalyan Bainsla and Lovneesh, also reported as Lavnish, to two days of police custody.
Police arrested Bainsla in Rajasthan on September 15 and Lovneesh the following day after the incident video went viral.
The case concerns an alleged collision on September 13 in which a car struck woman biker Sia’s motorcycle and fled.
Police added an attempt-to-murder charge after reviewing CCTV footage and recovered the car allegedly used in the incident.
The defence denies wrongdoing, says the riders caused the crash, and objects to the added charges; police and videos present a different account.

Police and complainant’s account
Defence account
Cause of the collision
Police and complainant’s account
Police and the videos cited in the reports indicate that Bainsla’s car hit Sia’s motorcycle from behind and then fled. Police said CCTV footage supported adding an attempt-to-murder charge.
Defence account
The defence said the riders were overspeeding and caused the accident, and argued that Bainsla was not at fault.
Reason for fleeing
Police and complainant’s account
Sia’s account and the videos described in the reports show the car leaving after she fell and skidded on the road.
Defence account
Bainsla’s lawyer said he fled because he feared being lynched by a mob and wanted to protect himself and his family.
Attempt-to-murder charge
Police and complainant’s account
Police said CCTV findings led to the addition of Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, described as an attempt-to-murder provision in the reports.
Defence account
The defence argued that Sections 307 and 109 were added later, allegedly because of media pressure, and said no motive had been established.
