A Gurugram court on Wednesday, 16 September remanded Kalyan Bainsla, the car driver accused of ramming a woman biker on Golf Course Road, and his cousin Lavneesh to two days' police custody in connection with the high-profile hit-and-run case. The two accused are scheduled to be produced before the court again on 18 September.

Arrests and Court Appearance

Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMIC) Nidhi Beniwal passed the remand order after both accused were produced before her. The arrests had been made a day earlier — Bainsla was apprehended from Dausa, Rajasthan, while Lavneesh was nabbed from Palwal, Haryana. According to investigators, Lavneesh was allegedly present in the car alongside Bainsla at the time of the incident.

Attempt-to-Murder Charge Added

Gurugram Police had earlier escalated the case by adding Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), pertaining to attempt to murder, to the First Information Report (FIR). The charge, which carries a punishment of up to 10 years' imprisonment, was appended following a detailed investigation and analysis of CCTV footage. The case was initially registered after police took suo motu cognisance of a dashcam video showing the car striking the female biker. The victim's family subsequently approached the police demanding stringent action, after which the victim, identified as Sia, submitted a written statement to Inspector Manoj Kumar, Station House Officer of Sector-56 Police Station.

Victim Sia Calls for Action Against All Four Occupants

On Wednesday, Sia publicly appealed for strict punishment against all four occupants of the car, stressing that accountability was essential for women's safety. 'I stated in court yesterday that all four, who were in the car, should be arrested and that strict action be taken against all of them. In my opinion, they should face harsh consequences; that is the only way to send a message to such young men — so that anyone thinking of committing such an act would think twice,' she said.

Responding to the accused driver's reported claim that he was in a hurry to use the restroom, Sia called the explanation 'despicable', noting that the entire incident had been captured on her bike's dashcam. 'Had the dashcam on my bike not recorded the incident, I probably wouldn't have even been able to justify what happened,' she said. She also highlighted a broader concern: 'So many women, who might be heading to work, have to face this kind of harassment. They don't have cameras, and often, cases like this don't even get registered.'

Police Stance and What Comes Next

Gurugram Police have maintained that lawlessness will not be tolerated and reaffirmed their commitment to strict action against those responsible. Authorities are currently recording Sia's detailed statement as part of the ongoing investigation. The next court date on 18 September will be critical in determining the direction of the case, including whether the remaining two alleged occupants of the vehicle face arrest. This case has drawn significant public attention to the issue of road violence against women and the role of personal recording devices in securing justice.
