Two days after a woman biker was allegedly rammed by a car while riding her Aprilia RS 457 on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road, police have arrested the accused driver, Kalyan Bainsla, in Rajasthan. The incident took place on September 13 and was captured on motorcycle-mounted cameras, with footage later circulating widely on social media. Gurugram Police has added an attempt-to-murder charge under Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), after examining CCTV footage.
The woman, who identifies herself as Sia on social media, suffered minor injuries and has said she intends to pursue legal action. Bainsla has denied deliberately hitting her, claiming the collision was accidental and that he feared being attacked if he stopped. Police are investigating the circumstances and intent behind the collision.
Collision Sparks Investigation
According to Sia, she was riding with a group of bikers on Golf Course Road when the white Maruti Suzuki Ciaz allegedly began following them. She said the occupants behaved aggressively and asked her to stop after she requested that they maintain a safe distance. She also alleged that the occupants appeared to be intoxicated.
The car subsequently struck her motorcycle from the side while overtaking, according to her account, knocking her off the bike and sending her skidding across the road. Footage recorded by cameras mounted on the motorcycles captured the incident. Sia suffered minor injuries, and she has credited her protective riding gear with helping reduce the impact. The car allegedly left the scene after the collision.
Gurugram Police took suo motu cognisance after the footage surfaced online and initially registered a case under Sections 281 and 125 of the BNS, relating to rash driving and acts endangering life or causing injury. Police identified Bainsla as the alleged driver and formed teams to trace him.
Following an examination of CCTV footage, police added Section 109 of the BNS, which relates to attempt to murder. Bainsla was subsequently arrested in Rajasthan on September 15. Gurugram Commissioner Sibash Kabiraj confirmed the arrest, according to reports.
Two Versions Emerge
Bainsla has acknowledged that the collision occurred and said it was his fault, but has denied deliberately hitting Sia. Speaking to the media before his arrest, he claimed he was travelling with family members when around 20–22 motorcycles passed his vehicle. He said he had asked riders to slow down and claimed he lost control of the car near a U-turn.
Bainsla also said he did not stop immediately because he feared the bikers would attack him and his family. “Had I stopped right then, those people would have beaten us up,” he said, according to media reports. His lawyer has also alleged that the bikers were riding at high speed and blamed the circumstances surrounding the collision. These claims remain part of the defence version and have not been established independently.
Sia has rejected Bainsla’s account. In a video shared on social media, she questioned why he did not stop to check on her if the collision had genuinely been accidental. She also disputed his claim that he did not realise a woman was riding the motorcycle, saying the available footage showed the interaction between them before the collision. “For a hit-and-run case are the two videos not enough?” she asked while responding to his claim that more footage had not been released.
The car involved is registered to an Army personnel named Manish, who said he was on duty in Assam and had lent the vehicle to Bainsla. The police investigation will now examine CCTV footage, motorcycle-camera recordings, witness accounts and other evidence to establish the precise sequence of events and determine the question of intent.
Timeline Of Events
The incident took place on September 13, when Sia was riding with a group of bikers on Golf Course Road in Gurugram and the car allegedly collided with her Aprilia RS 457, causing her to fall and sustain minor injuries. The incident was captured on camera and, on September 14, videos of the collision circulated widely online, prompting police action.
Police said they had identified the alleged driver and formed teams to apprehend him. On the same day, Kalyan Bainsla gave his version of events, saying the collision was accidental, acknowledging fault and claiming that he fled because he feared being attacked by the bikers. Sia later rejected his explanation. On September 15, after examining CCTV footage, police added Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), relating to attempt to murder. Later that day, Bainsla was arrested in Rajasthan in connection with the case, while the investigation continues.
The Logical Indian’s Perspective
The Gurugram incident is a stark reminder of how quickly conflict on the road can become a threat to someone’s life. Whether the collision was deliberate or accidental is ultimately a matter for investigators and the courts to establish through evidence. However, road users have a shared responsibility to exercise restraint and avoid turning disagreements into dangerous confrontations.
At the same time, accountability must go hand in hand with due process. The woman’s allegations deserve to be investigated seriously, while the accused must also have the opportunity to present his defence under the law. The circulation of video evidence can help establish facts, but public outrage should not replace a fair investigation.
India’s road-safety conversation often focuses on speeding, infrastructure and enforcement. It must also address road rage, aggression and the need to de-escalate conflicts before they become violent. Every journey should end with people reaching home safely—not with a confrontation that could change lives forever. What can motorists and bikers do differently to make India’s roads safer and less hostile for everyone?
