Shivani Chouhan, known as Siya, has said the arrest of Kalyan Bainsla is only the beginning of the legal process in the Gurugram hit-and-run case. The biker has demanded action against 4 people she alleges were inside the car and has called for the toughest punishment to establish an example for the future.

Siya made the remarks after a video of the incident emerged on social media. The footage showed her continuing to ride her motorcycle after a collision with a speeding car. She said an arrest alone would not amount to complete justice and that everyone involved should face strict action.

2 arrests after search

Gurugram Police arrested 33-year-old Bainsla and his 34-year-old relative Lavneesh in Rajgarh, Rajasthan, after searching for them for 2 days. Lavneesh was identified as being with Bainsla in the car at the time of the incident.

Police said Bainsla tried to escape custody on the pretext of urinating after his arrest. He fell and suffered injuries, for which he received initial treatment at a hospital. Both accused were produced before a city court, according to a senior police officer.

Before the arrest, Bainsla had switched off his mobile phone and gone missing after speaking to the media. 3 police teams were formed to trace him and arrested him in Rajasthan.

Charges added after complaint

The incident took place on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road. Bainsla is accused of hitting Siya from behind at high speed while driving a Maruti Suzuki Ciaz. Siya was riding an Aprilia RS 457 motorcycle. Police seized the car, which is registered in the name of an acquaintance of Bainsla.

Gurugram Police Commissioner Sibash Kabiraj said a case of attempted murder was registered against Bainsla after officers examined the Instagram video and CCTV footage. Police Deputy Commissioner (East) Sandeep Kumar said Siya alleged that Bainsla had made an objectionable remark before the incident and had tried to kill her.

After Siya joined the police investigation and submitted her complaint, the first information report was expanded to include Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, concerning attempted murder, along with Section 78 on physical and digital stalking and Section 79 on acts insulting a woman’s dignity.

Police said a woman biker had shared a video on Instagram on September 14, saying that a car had hit her on Golf Course Road the previous morning. Officers tried to contact her, but after no formal complaint was initially received, the Sector 56 police station registered a case on its own initiative. She later became part of the investigation after Bainsla’s arrest.

Siya rejects criticism from Bainsla’s supporters

Kamల్ had earlier said Bainsla was innocent and claimed that the woman was pretending to be a victim. Responding to those comments, Siya said Bainsla’s supporters were accusing her of acting like a victim to gain followers. She rejected that claim and said she was not concerned by what his supporters said.

Siya said she had contested the municipal election from Delhi’s Kalkaji in 2022 and was the youngest candidate. She added that she had initially wanted to keep her identity private after the incident, but it had since become public. She said she would stand up firmly for herself.

She also told the court about the incident and said she believed an attempt had been made to take her life. Siya said she suffered some injuries and that doctors had advised her to undergo MRI and X-ray examinations.

What the video and police account indicate

According to the police account, the footage captured an argument followed by the car striking the biker from the side. Police said the complaint and the reviewed footage formed the basis for the attempted-murder case.

Siya has maintained that the arrest of Bainsla does not resolve the matter. Her stated demand is that the other people she alleges were in the car should also be arrested and that the accused should receive the toughest punishment.

Conclusion

The Gurugram case has moved from an initial police investigation to arrests, a court appearance and additional charges after Siya’s complaint. She is seeking further arrests and the toughest punishment, while the police investigation and legal proceedings continue.
