Out riding with group, 28-year-old woman on BMW sports bike killed in accident in Gurgaon

Singh’s parents, meanwhile, filed a complaint with the Badshahpur police on Monday, seeking that action be taken against the company Lets Ryde, under which Singh was receiving training on becoming a professional biker.

When contacted, Kuldeep Sharma, the co-founder of Lets Ryde training academy, said, “The parents’ natural reaction is to first blame us. Perhaps they did not know that she knew how to ride a bike well and had registered with us… I was with them at the police station yesterday.”

“She had a license and had been training since Holi… How can anyone say that she can’t ride a bike? It was a hit-and-run case,” Sharma said, adding that as a training academy functioning for nearly eight years, its work is to facilitate biking expeditions after providing proper training.

Sharma said the accident occurred at 8.55 am. “Singh was wearing her safety gear… but the car at the other end was being driven rashly… She was injured severely despite wearing a helmet.”

“At 9.15 am, we reached the nearest private hospital in Badshahpur… but were refused admission. The next hospital we went to also refused to admit her. At 10.15 am, we finally reached the civil hospital in Sector 10 where she was pronounced dead,” said Sharma.

A woman who was riding with Singh, said, “During our ride, I was ensuring she is on the right lane always. It is about collective responsibility and safety first… you cannot blame one person alone or assume the victim was speeding or was not wearing a helmet.”

Investigating Officer of the case, Naveen Kumar, said, “We cannot say whether the company is responsible before our probe is complete. We will apprehend the (car) driver soon.”
