The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing Gurugram hit-and-run involving biker Shivani Chauhan, also known as Sia on social media, has found that the act was “not an accident”. The probe has concluded that it was an “intentional act”.
Over a month after the incident, the SIT probe has found that the accused Kalyan Baisla deliberately rammed his car into her motorcycle after misbehaving with her and all charges in the FIR, including attempt to murder, are likely to be retained in the chargesheet, police said on Tuesday. The case came to light after Sia posted a video of the incident on Instagram. Subsequently, Gurugram Police arrested Baisla and his friend, Lavnish, from Rajgarh in Dausa, Rajasthan. Both are currently lodged in Bhondsi Jail, Gurugram after their bail pleas were rejected. The five-member SIT, led by ACP (Crimes Against Women) Sushila, recently submitted its report to the Police Commissioner. “The SIT has prepared a draft of the charge sheet. A notice from the Haryana Commission for Women, Police Commissioner Sibash Kaviraj had constituted the SIT.
Following Shivani’s complaint, the Gurugram police filed an FIR under sections 78 (physical and digital stalking), 79 (use any word, sound, gesture, object, or intrusion of privacy with the intent to insult the modesty of a woman), and 109 (attempt to murder) and 3(5) (common intention) of the BNS.
The SIT report, however, has concluded “this was not an accident, but a calculated, intentional act”, a senior police officer said. The charge sheet will be filed in court within a week, in accordance with the sections of law applied in the FIR,” said ACP (Crimes Against Women) Sushila.
