Car rams woman biker: Accused in two-day police custody, stalking section added to FIR

A local court extended two-day police custody for Kalyan Singh Bainsla (33) and his cousin Lavneesh Gurjar (34) on Wednesday, following an incident in Gurgaon. Bainsla, a gym owner and former kabaddi player, is accused of ramming his car into a woman biker, Shivani Chauhan (27), on Golf Course Road. Gurjar, who was allegedly accompanying Bainsla at the time of the collision, also faced the same custody duration.

The police added stalking (Section 78) and insulting the modesty of a woman (Section 79) to the FIR, based on Chauhan's allegations that the car occupants chased her, made gestures, and made abusive remarks before the crash. Bainsla and Gurjar were apprehended near Rajgarh, Rajasthan, on Tuesday after a two-day police operation.

The incident occurred on Sunday when Chauhan, riding her Aprilia RS 457 sports bike, was hit by a white Maruti Suzuki Ciaz driven by Bainsla's associate and subsequently fled the scene. Dashcam and helmet camera footage corroborated Chauhan's version of events. Sections 109 (attempt to murder), 281 (rash driving), and 125 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) were initially invoked, but later expanded to include 78 and 79 following video and forensic analysis.

During his arrest, Bainsla allegedly tried to escape police custody during transit and sustained minor injuries from a fall. He was produced before Judicial Magistrate First Class Nidhi Beniwal, who ordered a September 18 court appearance. Advocate Lalit Bindal represented the accused.
