SIT Calls Gurugram Biker Crash A ‘Calculated, Intentional Act’

Overview

  • A white Maruti Ciaz chased and struck biker Shivani Chauhan on Golf Course Road on September 13, footage from her helmet camera and other riders’ CCTV showed.
  • A five-member Special Investigation Team led by ACP Sushila concluded the impact was intentional after reviewing helmet-cam and CCTV evidence while some technical reconstructions remain less widely corroborated.
  • Investigators added stronger legal provisions to the FIR, including attempt-to-murder, stalking, insulting modesty and common intention, and have prepared a draft chargesheet expected to be filed in court within a week.
  • Accused driver Kalyan Bainsla and his cousin Lavnish were arrested on September 15, remain in judicial custody with bail pleas rejected, and police say timely filing will prevent default bail under statutory deadlines.
  • The case was triggered by Chauhan’s viral video and a notice from the Haryana Commission for Women, and the probe’s conclusion is likely to intensify scrutiny of road-rage enforcement and the use of digital evidence in prosecutions.
