Key Points:

A SHOCKING video of a hit-and-run case from Gurugram went viral on Monday, September 14, 2026, sparking outrage online. The influencer who goes by the Instagram username ‘rebelwheels_sia_’ shared the clip of the incident on social media, alleging that the driver and the three passengers were drunk and deliberately rammed her when she refused to stop her bike at their demand. The accused Kalyan Bainsla, and his cousin Lavnesh were arrested in Rajasthan on Tuesday, September 15. 

In the viral video, the white sedan is seen slamming into Sia’s bike, an Aprilia RS 457, and running away from the site. The woman biker alleges the incident took place on Sunday, September 13, 2026. Her video sparked nationwide outrage followed by the arrest of the accused driver and his cousin. After examining the CCTV footage from the area, on September 15, the Gurugram police booked the two cousins under multiple charges including attempted murder, harassment, and stalking. 

A video of Kalyan’s other cousin, Kamal, speaking to PTI has also emerged, where he claimed that the woman biker is playing the “victim card" and not presenting all the facts. According to reports and the victim, both Kamal and Lavneesh were sitting in the car when Kalyan struck Sia. The police in a statement to the media said, “Flouting the law will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Gurugram Police is committed to taking strict action against the accused.” The attempt to murder charge under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) carries a sentence of up to 10 years.

Gurugram Hit-and-Run Survivor Says She Won’t Back Down

In an interview with NDTV, the victim of the hit-and-run incident had some bold words for the accused. She demands severe punishment for Bainsla, saying “Until there is punishment, such cases will keep happening. She commented on the attempted murder charges and said she is not satisfied with any charges unless there is strict action. “The arrests happened today, but what if they get bail tomorrow?” Sia believes that if a precedent is not set today, such cases will keep happening.

The woman biker also reacted to Kalyan and his cousin’s statement to the media and questioned their upbringing. She said, “From the statements of Kalyan Bainsla and his supporters, we can see what kind of society they come from or how educated they are.”

Speaking to ANI on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, Sia said that the two arrests are only the first step, further demanding the same punishment for all four present in the car. She said, “My demand is that all four people in that car should be arrested and that the strictest possible action should be taken against all of them... After the incident, all four of them ran away together. Since all four were equally involved in the incident, all four should be punished.”

Who is Kalyan Bainsla?

The accused Kalyan Bainsla who was driving the white Maruti Ciaz seen hitting Sia in the viral video has since deactivated his Instagram account. According to media reports, in his profile he identified himself as an “international kabaddi player” and a member of the “Indian rugby team.” As per NDTV, he had a profile picture of him flexing his arms and claimed he was winner of Amateur Olympia India — a bodybuilding tournament. However, these claims could not be verified.

The Times of India reports that Bainsla runs two to three gyms as a gym trainer. His various online posts and reels, retrieved before he deactivated his account, shows him flexing his body. Following the accident a photo of Bainsla with an alleged BJP leader Gulshan Sharma, also circulated online. However, NewsGram couldn’t verify the accused’s link with the party or whether Gulshan Sharma in the image is even a BJP leader.

Reacting to his “macho” posts and his arrest, NDTV anchor Shiv Aroor wrote on X, “Aa gaya line pe (Now, he’s fallen in line), coward Kalyan Bainsla. Maximum muscle, zero spine.” Another user wrote, “Exercise karke muscle to bada bana liye is Kalyan Baisla ne lekin dimag chhota ka chhota hi reh gaya (Kalyan Baisla may have built up big muscles through exercise, but his mind remained small).”
