The white sedan cuts sharply to the right and rams the helmeted woman riding her Aprilia RS 457 sports bike in Gurugram, sending her crashing down, shows a disturbing video, and her bike, generating a tiny shower of sparks, skidded along the road.
The sedan though sped away.
On Tuesday, two days after the incident, the Gurugram Police, based on the CCTV findings, filed an attempt to murder charge against Kalyan Bainsla, the accused driver.
This offense carries a provision for imprisonment of up to 10 years. The accused car driver will also be arrested soon, police said.
“Flouting the law will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Gurugram Police is committed to taking strict action against the accused,” the police said in a statement.
The victim, Sia, in an exclusive interview to NDTV, said everything was captured on camera and questioned the obtuseness on the part of the authorities who are yet to catch the accused. She questioned the authorities how any law-abiding citizen in places like Gurugram and Delhi would feel safe when the “department” itself does not do anything.
“He thinks he will just hit a woman and speed away and nothing would happen to him,” Sia told NDTV, adding, “It was a clear hit-and-run and attempt-to-murder case.”
Sia has made it clear that she will “not give up on the fight”.
“I will set an example,” she stressed.
“Does the law and order machinery only wake up after a biker gets hit and killed? If you impose so many restrictions on bikers in Gurugram, you should also look at those driving four-wheelers. What are you doing about the people driving so rashly?” Sia said.
Sia’s father, Rohshan Chauhan, too doubled down, saying the family “will not rest until the accused is punished”.
