Gurugram Hit-And-Run Accused Tries Fleeing Police Custody After Rajasthan Arrest

Kalyan Bainsla, the primary accused in the widely circulated Gurugram hit-and-run incident involving a woman sports bike rider on Golf Course Road, attempted to escape from police custody on Tuesday while being transported following his arrest in Rajasthan. Bainsla allegedly tried to flee on the pretext of urinating, sustaining minor injuries during the escape attempt before being treated at a hospital. The development follows a multi-team police operation that tracked the suspect across multiple locations.

The incident, which was captured extensively by action cameras mounted on the victim's superbike and trailing riders, involved a white sedan sharply swerving and ramming into the helmeted rider, identified as Sia, sending her Aprilia RS 457 sliding across the tarmac. Following the collision, the vehicle sped away without stopping. Law enforcement officials subsequently constituted three teams to trace the suspect, who had switched off his phone and fled after giving media interviews.

Based on detailed findings from CCTV footage and the statement provided by the victim, the Gurugram Police invoked Section 307 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, introducing an attempt to murder charge against Bainsla. Investigators also applied Sections 78 and 79 of the BNS. The offense under Section 307 carries a maximum provision of imprisonment for up to ten years. Authorities seized the white sedan involved in the collision, which was registered in the name of an acquaintance.

During police custody proceedings, photographs showed the accused kneeling in front of the impounded vehicle with a heavily bandaged right hand. Alongside Bainsla, police detained his cousin, Lavnish Bainsla, who was inside the sedan at the time of the crash. Investigators stated that Lavnish's role is under active examination, specifically regarding allegations of passing obscene comments and gestures toward the victim as the car traveled parallel to her motorcycle.

Legal counsel representing Bainsla pushed back against the allegations of deliberate vehicular assault, characterizing the event as an outcome of mutual negligence and overspeeding rather than a hit-and-run. Lawyer Naveen Bainsla claimed that a large group of approximately twenty to thirty bikers was riding aggressively, performing stunts, and taunting other motorists to provoke races.

In prior media statements before his arrest, Bainsla asserted that he was unaware of the rider's gender and alleged that the publicly circulated video material presented only a selective perspective while omitting footage involving male companions of the victim. He stated that he felt sorry for the rider involved.

The victim strongly rejected the defense assertions, questioning how expressions of sympathy could align with fleeing the scene without stopping to check for injuries. Sia noted that the collision could have resulted in fatal outcomes or severe bone fractures, emphasizing that the actions captured on camera clearly demonstrated an intent to endanger her life.

Sia's father, Rohshan Chauhan, stated that the family recorded formal statements before a magistrate and vowed to pursue accountability to establish a deterrent against reckless driving. The investigation remains active as authorities verify remaining aspects of the case and examine the conduct of all individuals present in the vehicle during the incident.
