Woman biker chased, rammed by ‘drunk’ men in car on Golf Course Road; FIR filed

The incident was captured on the rider’s dashcam; she alleged the occupants appeared drunk and aggressive. A friend chased the car to a red light, but the driver sped away again.

GurgaonThe alleged on-camera hit-and-run incident in Gurgaon on Sunday that left Delhi biker Sia injured sparked more than outrage among citizens.

A woman motorcyclist was injured on Sunday after she was chased by a car that then rammed into her two-wheeler in Gurgaon’s Golf Course Road before fleeing the spot.

The woman, Sia, was riding her Aprilia RS 457 sports bike alongside members of a biking group when the incident occurred. A purported video of the incident shared on social media shows a car bearing a Haryana number plate tailing the group before allegedly cutting sharply into Sia’s lane and colliding with her bike.

The Gurgaon police on Monday said an FIR was filed suo motu at Sector 56 police station under relevant BNS sections for rash driving and endangering human life. Officers, however, said that the accused, who remained on the run, was not named in the FIR. They said three teams have been formed that are raiding locations he has stayed and worked at.

‘They were hostile’

According to the rider, the car, which was being driven by the accused, began pursuing her shortly after their ride commenced. When she asked them to maintain a safe distance, the occupants of the car allegedly turned hostile and demanded that she pull over.

“The men appeared to be drunk,” Sia alleged in a video statement posted online. “I kept riding ahead to prevent them from blocking me, while a friend riding behind tried to shield my bike from the vehicle.”

The car continued to pursue her until the driver allegedly attempted to cut directly in front of her and struck the motorcycle. Sia was thrown onto the road in the impact. The car dragged her bike a short distance before speeding off.

Another rider in the group chased the car and managed to intercept it at a nearby traffic signal. When confronted over the collision, the driver denied responsibility and sped away as the signal cleared.

Sia sustained injuries in the crash, though fellow riders noted that full protective gear helped avert serious injuries.

Sia had earlier appealed to the authorities for strict action, saying: “I felt unsafe on Gurgaon roads. People like them aren’t afraid of hitting people and running away.”

In a statement on her Instagram account, which she has since made private, Sia said she does not wish to reveal her face or identity.

The video triggered widespread outrage on social media, with citizens and motoring groups demanding action.
