Gurgaon biker hit and run case: SIT probe finds Kalyan Baisla intentionally rammed into female biker, multiple charges filed

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the road rage incident involving female biker Shivani Chauhan has concluded that accused Kalyan Baisla deliberately rammed his car into her motorcycle after allegedly misbehaving with her, as per a PTI report. Gurugram Police said on Tuesday that the charges filed in the first information report (FIR), including attempt to murder, are likely to be retained in the chargesheet, which is expected to be filed in court within a week.

The incident took place on September 13 and triggered widespread outrage after footage recorded by Chauhan’s helmet-mounted camera and a fellow biker’s camera circulated on social media. Baisla had earlier admitted that the collision was his fault but denied hitting Chauhan intentionally, claiming he lost control of his vehicle near a U-turn.

SIT says collision was deliberate, not accidental

The five-member SIT, led by Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crimes Against Women) Sushila, found that the collision was an intentional act rather than an accident, a senior police officer said.

According to the officer, the investigation concluded that Baisla deliberately drove his car into Chauhan’s motorcycle following an alleged act of misbehaviour. The SIT recently submitted its report to Police Commissioner Sibash Kaviraj.

“The SIT has prepared a draft of the charge sheet. The charge sheet will be filed in court within a week, in accordance with the sections of law applied in the FIR,” ACP Sushila said.

What happened during the September 13 incident?

Chauhan, also known as Siya, is a 27-year-old resident of Delhi’s Kalkaji. She was travelling with friends from Golf Course Road towards Extension Road when the accused, allegedly driving a white car, followed the group and made obscene gestures, according to the complaint.

The car then allegedly struck Chauhan’s motorcycle from the side before leaving the scene. The impact threw her off the motorcycle and sent her skidding along the road.

Footage of the incident, recorded by Chauhan’s helmet camera and a fellow biker, later circulated online and drew public attention to the case.

Which charges have been invoked?

Following Chauhan’s complaint, Gurugram Police registered an FIR under provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including:

• Section 78: Stalking.
• Section 79: Words, gestures or acts intended to insult the modesty of a woman or intrude upon her privacy.
• Section 109: Attempt to murder.
• Section 3(5): Acts committed by several persons in furtherance of their common intention.

Police indicated that the charges in the FIR are likely to be retained when the chargesheet is filed. The final charges will be reflected in the document submitted to the court.

How were the accused arrested?

Four people were in the car at the time of the incident, with Baisla and his cousin Lavnish seated in the front.

On September 15, Gurugram Police arrested Baisla and Lavnish in Rajgarh, in Rajasthan’s Dausa district. Both are currently lodged in Bhondsi Jail in Gurugram after their bail pleas were rejected.

The Haryana Commission for Women had issued a notice in connection with the incident, following which Police Commissioner Sibash Kaviraj constituted the SIT to investigate the case.
