Authorities will record the victim’s statement, review video and CCTV evidence, pursue custody hearings for the detained suspect.

Overview

  • Police detained 28-year-old Kalyan Bainsla in Dausa, Rajasthan on Tuesday after they upgraded the case to include an attempt‑to‑murder charge under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
  • A ride‑cam video from the woman’s bike plus footage from a trailing rider and CCTV footage circulated widely and prompted Gurugram police to take suo motu cognisance and register an FIR for rash driving and causing hurt before adding the more serious charge.
  • The biker, Shivani ‘Sia’ Chauhan, alleges she was deliberately targeted and that the car occupants looked intoxicated; the accused says a collision occurred by mistake, admits fault, and says he fled because he feared a mob attack.
  • After arrest, police say Bainsla tried to escape custody while being escorted to relieve himself, fell and was treated for minor injuries at a hospital before being brought to Gurugram for questioning.
  • The case has prompted public outrage over road rage and women’s safety on NCR roads, and investigators continue to record statements and examine evidence as formal custody and court procedures move forward.
