Gurugram Police on Tuesday, 15 September 2026, added a charge of attempt to murder under Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) to the First Information Report (FIR) filed in connection with a hit-and-run incident on Golf Course Road, in which a woman biker identified as Sia was struck by a car. The escalation came after Sia and her family approached the Sector 56 police station demanding stringent action against the accused.

How the Case Escalated

Police initially took suo motu cognisance of a widely circulated video showing a car ramming into Sia's motorcycle on Golf Course Road. After reviewing CCTV footage and conducting a thorough investigation, authorities concluded that the evidence warranted the addition of the attempt-to-murder charge, which carries a punishment of up to 10 years in prison.

The decision to upgrade the FIR followed the submission of Sia's written statement to the Station House Officer (SHO) of Sector 56, after which the SHO visited her location in person to record her detailed verbal statement as well. Officials confirmed that the accused car driver is expected to be arrested shortly.

Family's Demands and Sia's Condition

A family member named Deepankar told reporters that Sia is suffering from severe muscle pain and muscle pulls, with her health deteriorating under the stress of the incident and its aftermath. He said the family is pushing for the maximum possible charges, including attempt to murder, hit-and-run, and harassment.

Deepankar also said Sia had confirmed that four people were inside the car at the time and that she was able to clearly identify the faces of two of them. He added that Sia would be giving media interviews in due course. 'We want the strictest sections and maximum charges to be pressed against them,' he said.

He further noted that the accused's claim that there were no cameras present was undermined by the video itself. 'You can clearly see in the video that whenever anyone changes lanes, they do so slowly,' he said, adding that anyone who causes an accidental hit would stop and wait at the scene.

Government Assurance and Accused's Defence

Haryana Minister Gaurav Gautam assured that no individual would be spared, regardless of their connection. 'Whoever is found guilty will be apprehended. Whoever the culprit is, even if it happens to be from my own family, they too will be caught,' he said.

However, Advocate Naveen Baisla, the lawyer representing the family of accused Kalyan Baisla, maintained that the incident was accidental. He claimed the bikers were provocating the driver, gesturing as if to race, and that the driver lost control of the vehicle while attempting to overtake. 'This is simply a case of an accident,' Baisla said, speaking from Palwal, Haryana. He added that his client had in fact been telling the bikers to slow down, not trying to intimidate them.

What the Law Says

Section 109 of the BNS, which covers attempt to murder, is a significantly graver charge than standard negligent driving or hit-and-run provisions. Its addition signals that investigators believe the act was intentional rather than accidental — a reading that directly contradicts the defence's account. This legal escalation could substantially increase the minimum sentence the accused faces if convicted.

What Happens Next

Police officials have warned that 'lawlessness will not be tolerated at any cost' and reiterated their commitment to strict action. The investigation is ongoing, with Sia's detailed verbal statement now on record. The arrest of the accused car driver is described as imminent. The case is likely to draw continued scrutiny given the video evidence and the political attention it has attracted, including the minister's public remarks.
