Gurugram hit-and-run victim Sia demands attempt-to-murder charges, two arrested
Synopsis
Gurugram hit-and-run victim Sia broke her silence on Tuesday, alleging a deliberate, four-person assault on Golf Course Road — and calling for attempt-to-murder charges. Police responded swiftly, arresting the driver from Rajasthan and adding the charge. But Sia's broader message — that road harassment of women is systemic, not exceptional — is the part the headlines risk missing.

Sia called the incident part of a wider pattern of road harassment faced by women bikers across India.
Gurugram hit-and-run victim Sia on Tuesday, 15 September 2026, demanded stringent legal action against all those involved in the Golf Course Road incident, asserting that without a genuine fear of the law, road harassment and violence against women would continue unchecked. Two accused, including the driver, have since been arrested.
What Sia Alleged
Sia said she provided a full statement to the police, alleging that the occupants of the car had deliberately targeted, chased, and rammed her. 'As I showed in the video, he was driving from my side. I told the police everything, how they were trying to harass me, molest me, and how an attempt was made on my life,' she said.
She added that she had tried to create distance between herself and the vehicle, but the car continued to pursue her. 'I also gave him a sign to drive far from me. I was afraid that they would hit me, so I rode my bike farther away. They were continuously chasing me. Whenever my bike slowed down, they intentionally came and hit me from behind,' she said.
Sia confirmed there were four occupants in the vehicle and that she had shared all relevant details with investigators. She urged police to arrest everyone involved and called for an attempt-to-murder case to be registered against all of them.
Arrests and Charges
Gurugram Police on Tuesday arrested Kalyan Bainsla, the accused driver, from Dausa, Rajasthan. A second accused, Lavnish Gurjar, was also taken into custody in connection with the case. Based on CCTV footage, police added an attempt-to-murder charge against the driver — an offence that carries a provision for imprisonment of up to 10 years.
How the Incident Unfolded
On Sunday, a white sedan was captured on CCTV swerving sharply to the right on Golf Course Road and ramming into Sia, who was astride her Aprilia RS 457 sports bike and wearing a helmet at the time. She was flung onto the road, while her motorcycle slid across the tarmac, producing sparks, in what witnesses described as a deeply disturbing sequence of events.
Sia said her safety gear prevented more serious injury. 'I had a helmet and a few other things that saved me from a major accident. But I suffered several injuries to my knees and hands,' she said. She thanked fellow women bikers for rallying in support and urged other victims to come forward.
A Pattern of Road Harassment Against Women Bikers
Sia was emphatic that the incident was far from isolated. 'Women bikers have to face such things on the roads. This is not the first case of harassment and chasing. I am not the only woman who may have faced such things,' she said. She called on victims of similar incidents to report them rather than stay silent.
'Until we take strict action, there are so many such people who will roam freely on the roads, hit people and run, hit women and run, or harass them on the roads. Unless we instil fear of the law, such incidents will keep happening,' she added.
This comes amid growing concern over road safety and targeted harassment of women motorists in Gurugram and across the National Capital Region. With both accused now in custody and attempt-to-murder charges added, the case is expected to set a legal precedent for how road rage and deliberate vehicular assault are prosecuted.
Point of View
The legal response to this one incident, however welcome, does not address the impunity that makes such incidents frequent. The use of a vehicle as a weapon against a lone woman rider is a distinct and escalating form of gender-targeted violence that India's road safety and criminal justice frameworks are not yet calibrated to deter systematically.
