Police in Gurugram arrested Kalyan Bainsla in Rajasthan's Dausa district in connection with a hit-and-run that struck biker Shivani Chauhan on Golf Course Road. Telangana Today reported that investigators added an attempt-to-murder charge under Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita after reviewing CCTV footage and witness statements. Bainsla, a 33-year-old gym owner, has denied intentionally ramming Chauhan's motorcycle, but her family says the white Maruti Ciaz deliberately followed and struck her bike before speeding away.
Chauhan, a 27-year-old fashion designer known as Sia, was riding her Aprilia RS 457 on September 13 when the collision occurred. The Hindu reported that police escalated charges to include stalking and outraging modesty after Chauhan's formal statement and camera footage from her motorcycle showed the impact. Bainsla attempted to flee custody during questioning and fell while trying to escape, India Today said, receiving hospital treatment for minor injuries.
How the Collision Unfolded on Golf Course Road
On the morning of September 13, Chauhan rode her motorcycle alongside a group of bikers heading toward a café. Rediff reported that a white Maruti Ciaz aggressively pursued her, cut into her lane, and struck her bike. The motorcycle dashcam footage showed the car ramming into her from the side. She fell hard and her bike dragged under the vehicle for approximately 300 meters before the driver sped off without stopping.
A fellow biker caught up with the car at a traffic signal and confronted the driver, asking him to stop. Economic Times reported that the occupants denied responsibility and drove away. Bainsla remained on the run after the incident, switching off his phone and giving media interviews where he denied any intentional harm. Three Crime Branch teams tracked him across state lines to Rajasthan, where he was arrested on September 15.
Police Say Evidence Shows Deliberate, Targeted Attack
Investigators upgraded charges from rash driving to attempted murder after analyzing video evidence and Chauhan's detailed account. Gurugram DCP Sandeep Kumar stated it was 'clearly' a deliberate act, saying "he deliberately hit [the biker] from the side after an argument... the intent was to kill the victim." The Hindu reported that CCTV footage revealed the car following Chauhan's motorcycle before the collision. Police also charged Bainsla under stalking and modesty provisions, treating the incident as gender-targeted harassment.
Chauhan identified four people in the car and could clearly see the faces of two of them, her brother Deepankar told police. She reported suffering severe muscle pain and physical discomfort after the crash. Bainsla's attempted escape from custody—falling and sustaining injuries during a "toilet break"—further supported police theories of guilt. A third associate, Pramod, now faces charges for aiding his escape.
Accused Denies Intent, Claims Accident and Reckless Riding
Bainsla told media he did not know a woman was driving the motorcycle and insisted the crash was accidental. He claimed the bikers were "pinching"—cutting dangerously in front of his car—and driving recklessly to attract social media attention. His attorney, Naveen Bainsla, rejected prosecutors' framing as "publicity-driven" and blamed the biker group for the collision. Bainsla's defense hinges on distinguishing an accident from a deliberate, lethal attack.
The Maruti Ciaz belonged to an active Indian Army officer stationed in Assam who had lent it to Bainsla two days before the incident. Rediff noted this detail in tracing the vehicle's ownership. Bainsla's version contradicts police forensics and Chauhan's eyewitness testimony, setting up a contested narrative in court. Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years if he is convicted.
Family, Officials Demand Justice in Gender-Violence Case
Chauhan's family rejected accident claims. Her brother, Deepankar, said: "If it were a mistake, he should have stopped." Her father, Roshan, told police: "This wasn't an accident; it was an attempt to murder. People need to change their mindset." Haryana Minister Gaurav Gautam pledged unbiased prosecution, stating: "Whoever is the culprit, even if it happens to be from my own family, they too will be caught." The case has sparked renewed public demands for safer roads in the National Capital Region.
The incident adds to a growing pattern of road-rage and gender-targeted violence on major NCR highways. India Today noted that national crash statistics show 467,967 road accidents and over 175,000 fatalities annually. Public pressure has mounted for enhanced female safety monitoring and stricter surveillance on arterial routes like Golf Course Road. Bainsla is expected to appear before a Gurugram court soon for formal remand and continued interrogation.
