Bainsla, cousin sent to 14 days in jail
Gurugram: A city court on Friday sent Kalyan Bainsla and cousin Lavnish, who were arrested in connection with the hit-and-run case involving biker Shivani Chauhan alias Sia, to 14 days of judicial custody, police said.
They appeared in court after their two-day police remand ended on Friday.
According to police, the court has fixed October 1 as the next date of hearing.
“Both the accused were produced in the court of Civil Judge Nidhi Beniwal after their two-day police custody ended on Friday. The court sent them to judicial custody. A further probe is underway,” a senior police officer said.
The case pertains to Bainsla, a gym owner, grazing his car with biker Shivani Chauhan on the Golf Course road on Sunday, coming at speed from behind. The contact knocked Chauhan off and sent her skidding down the road in a life-threatening situation. PTI
Woman biker Sia, who was allegedly hit by a car on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road on Friday said the incident should not be linked to casteism. The victim added that an attempt was being made on social media to shift the narrative and portray the incident as a caste-based issue, which she termed “illogical”.
“Look, there is currently an attempt to shift the narrative on social media and frame this as a caste-based issue; personally, I do not want this linked to casteism. Everything being said is illogical. I firmly believe that casteism should not be a factor here. I don’t understand the mentality of those targeting specific castes. This incident could have happened to anyone--any girl or even an elderly person. It isn’t about casteism; it could have happened to anyone in the future. So, I feel that the current discourse is illogical,” she told ANI.
When asked how she sees the ongoing investigation, the victim Sia informed that an SIT had been constituted to probe the case and she has full faith in the judiciary.
