GURUGRAM: The legal battle over a controversial hit-and-run case in Gurugram has taken a significant turn as the injured motorcyclist, Sia, has formally disputed the account offered by the accused driver, Kalyan Baisla, who maintains the collision was nothing more than an unfortunate accident.
Sia's statement has reignited public interest in the case, which has drawn widespread attention across Haryana and beyond. She has specifically challenged several key claims made by Baisla, pointing to what she describes as overwhelming visual evidence captured by multiple CCTV cameras at the scene.
According to sources close to the investigation, several traffic and private surveillance cameras recorded the incident from different vantage points along the road where the collision occurred. Investigators have reportedly seized footage from at least three separate camera angles, which authorities believe may paint a very different picture from the one Baisla has presented to law enforcement.
One of the most critical questions raised by Sia centres on Baisla's decision not to stop the vehicle immediately after impact. She was reportedly thrown from her motorcycle upon collision and sustained injuries. Despite video evidence suggesting the accident was clearly visible to passing motorists and captured by nearby businesses, Baisla allegedly continued driving without rendering aid or alerting authorities.
Legal experts say that in hit-and-run cases, the failure to stop and assist the injured is often treated as an aggravating factor by courts and investigators. Under Indian law, causing death or injury due to rash driving and subsequently fleeing the scene can attract more severe penalties than a straightforward accident.
The case has also sparked debate on social media, with many citizens demanding stricter enforcement of traffic laws in Gurugram, one of India's busiest metropolitan cities. Road safety advocates have called for better camera coverage and faster prosecution of offenders.
Police in Gurugram have confirmed they are continuing their investigation and reviewing all available surveillance footage before filing the final charge sheet. Authorities have asked the public to come forward with any additional video recordings or eyewitness accounts that could assist the probe.
