This news report covers the response of a female motorcyclist, Sia, following a road rage and hit-and-run incident on Golf Course Road in Gurugram, Haryana.Background of the IncidentThe incident came to light after video footage circulated on social media showing an altercation between the motorcyclist and a car driver, which resulted in the car hitting her two-wheeler before the driver fled the scene. The video prompted the Gurugram Police to take suo motu cognisance and register a First Information Report (FIR) at the Sector 56 police station.The Accused Driver’s ClaimsFollowing public outrage, the accused driver appeared in television interviews attempting to defend his actions. He alleged that:

• The biker had been riding erratically, repeatedly accelerating and braking suddenly.
• She was allegedly “pinching” (dangerously squeezing or cutting off) other vehicles on the road.
• He claimed he did not realise that a woman was riding the motorcycle and expressed remorse on camera.

The Biker’s RebuttalIn a video posted to Instagram, Sia strongly rejected the driver’s narrative, describing his media remorse as a calculated “sympathy-seeking act”:

• Questioning the Chase: She argued that the footage clearly shows who was harassing whom. She emphasized that even if the driver assumed she was driving irregularly, he had no legal right or authority to chase her down the road.
• Refuting the Identity Claim: She dismissed his assertion that he did not know she was a woman, pointing out that she had long, clearly visible braided hair, and that he had pulled alongside her, made hand gestures, and verbally demanded that she pull over before the crash.
• Criticising the Driver’s Remorse: She pointed out that if he had genuine concern or sorrow, he would have stopped immediately after hitting her to check for injuries instead of fleeing. She noted that the impact could have resulted in fatal injuries or severe fractures.

Sia also raised broader concerns regarding road rage and women’s safety in the Delhi-NCR area, urging authorities to hold reckless drivers strictly accountable. Her family has also demanded that charges against the driver be upgraded to attempt to murder.
