The Collision on Golf Course Road

On September 13, 2026, a white Maruti Suzuki Ciaz driven by Kalyan Bainsla rammed the Aprilia RS 457 of Shivani Chauhan (“Sia”) on Golf Course Road in Gurugram. The impact threw Sia off her bike; the driver fled. Sia’s helmet-mounted camera captured the incident, and the video went viral the next day.

Background & Context

The footage was posted on Instagram on September 14, 2026. Gurugram Police opened an FIR at Sector-56 police station, initially charging Sections 281 (rash driving) and 125 (causing injury) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). After reviewing CCTV, police added Section 109 (attempt to murder) and Sections 78 (stalking) and 79 (acts against modesty).

Timeline

  • Sept 15 – Bainsla arrested in Dausa, Rajasthan; his cousin Lavish (Lavnish Gurjar) also taken into custody.

Data & Statistics

  • Vehicle: White Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, registered to an Army employee named Manish.
  • No formal FIR had been filed by the victim before police action; the case was launched on the viral footage.

Official Statements & Responses

Gurgaon Police DCP (East) Sandeep Kumar said the victim’s statement and CCTV indicated a deliberate ramming, prompting the attempt-to-murder charge. Police spokesperson Sandeep Turan reported that Bainsla claimed he needed to urinate before fleeing, after which he fell and was re-apprehended. Commissioner Sibash Kabiraj announced the addition of the attempt-to-murder charge. ACP (Headquarters) Abhilaksh Joshi noted that three special teams were formed to locate the accused and that the investigation would verify the role of the driver’s companion.

Criticism & Opposition

Roshan Chauhan, Sia’s father, condemned the act as “straight-up misogyny,” warning that such behaviour threatens women’s freedom to ride.

On-the-Ground Reports

Sia recounted that the car repeatedly followed her group, gestured for her to stop, and then struck her bike despite her attempts to keep distance. She said the occupants appeared intoxicated and that a friend chased the car to a traffic signal, where the driver denied responsibility and fled. She added that her protective gear likely prevented more serious injury.

Conflicting Reports & Gaps

  • Driver’s account: Bainsla claims the collision was accidental, that he asked the bikers to slow down, and that he fled out of fear of a mob.
  • Victim’s account: Sia asserts the driver deliberately chased and hit her, made obscene comments, and did not stop to render aid.
  • Legal counsel’s view: Advocate Naveen Bainsla (representing the accused) frames the incident as mutual negligence, alleging a large group of bikers were racing and provoking the driver.
  • Evidence gap: No written complaint had been lodged by the victim before police action; the investigation relies heavily on video evidence and the victim’s statement.

Verbatim Quotes

  • “We arrested the car driver, Kalyan Baisla, from Rajasthan today. Following a thorough investigation and detailed analysis of CCTV footage, the charge of attempt to murder under Section 109 of the BNS has been added to the case, which carries a provision of up to 10 years of imprisonment,” — Sibash Kabiraj, Gurgaon Police Commissioner
  • “We have identified the accused, and three special teams have been formed to nab him,” — Abhilaksh Joshi
