Gurugram hit-and-run accused Kalyan Baisla arrested in Rajasthan's Dausa
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Accused Kalyan Baisla, wanted in the Gurugram hit-and-run case involving woman biker Sia, has been arrested from Dausa in Rajasthan on 15 September 2026, officials confirmed. He will be brought to Gurugram shortly for further proceedings, they added.
Attempt-to-Murder Charge Added to FIR
Gurugram Police earlier in the day added Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) — pertaining to attempt to murder — to the First Information Report (FIR) registered at Sector 56 police station. The enhanced charge carries a maximum punishment of up to 10 years in prison. The decision followed Sia and her family approaching police and formally seeking stringent action against the accused.
Police had initially taken suo motu cognisance of a video showing a car striking the female biker on Golf Course Road. A thorough investigation, including analysis of CCTV footage, preceded the addition of the graver charge. Officials confirmed that the accused car driver — a second individual — is also expected to be arrested soon.
Victim's Family Demands Strictest Action
A family member identified as Deepankar said Sia's written statement had already been submitted to the Station House Officer (SHO) of Sector 56. 'Yesterday, we submitted Sia's written statement to the SHO of Sector 56, Gurugram. Today, the SHO himself is coming here to record her verbal statement,' he told reporters. He said Sia was 'experiencing severe muscle pain and muscle pulls, and her health has also deteriorated amid all this stress and hassle.'
Deepankar pressed for the maximum possible charges. 'We want the strictest sections and maximum charges to be pressed against them. Primarily, let me state that we will push for charges of attempt to murder, hit-and-run and harassment,' he said. He further revealed that four people were inside the car at the time of the incident, and that Sia had clearly seen the faces of two of them.
Minister's Assurance and Defence Lawyer's Claim
Haryana Minister Gaurav Gautam assured the public that no one would be shielded, regardless of political affiliation. '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 Kalyan Baisla's family, disputed the characterisation of the incident as intentional. 'This is simply a case of an accident. They were riders, and they were provoking my friend... When he increased the speed of the car slightly to move ahead, he lost control of the vehicle. A U-turn came ahead, and the car touched the bike. There is nothing more to the matter,' the advocate claimed, speaking from Palwal, Haryana.
Police Warning and Next Steps
Gurugram Police issued a firm public statement, warning that 'lawlessness will not be tolerated at any cost' and reiterating their commitment to strict action against the perpetrators. With Baisla now in custody in Dausa and his transit to Gurugram imminent, investigators are expected to conduct a formal interrogation to establish the sequence of events and examine CCTV evidence further. The arrest of the second accused car driver also remains pending.
