GURUGRAM: A horrifying incident of alleged road rage and hit-and-run on Gurugram’s prominent Golf Course Road has triggered serious concerns regarding the safety of motorists and women riders in the city.
The harrowing event, which took place on Sunday morning, came to light after the victim shared chilling helmet-cam and action-camera footage on social media.
"He had started chasing me on Golf Course Road. I asked him to drive while maintaining distance. He kept making hand gestures asking me to stop my bike," Sia recounted in her video statement.
Realizing the situation was turning hostile, Sia attempted to keep moving forward to avoid being intercepted, while one of her fellow riders tried to block and shield her from the aggressively trailing car.
The brutal impact threw Sia off her sports bike onto the asphalt, while her motorcycle was dragged and sent skidding several meters down the road.
Following the collision, one of Sia's vigilant friends chased down the white sedan and managed to intercept it at a nearby traffic signal.
Sia later took to Instagram under the handle @rebelwheels_sia_ to share details of the vehicle, its registration number, and the dramatic crash footage.
The video spread like wildfire across multiple social media platforms, with citizens, motoring communities, and influencers tagging the Gurugram Police, Gurugram Traffic Police, and Haryana Police to demand swift legal action.
Taking immediate note of the viral public outcry, the Gurugram Police initiated a suo motu inquiry into the incident.
Sandeep Turan, Public Relations Officer (PRO) for Gurugram Police, stated that while no formal complaint or control room alert was initially made right after the accident, authorities reached out to the victim to record an official statement.
Reiterating a strict stance against lawlessness, a senior police spokesperson emphasized that Gurugram Police maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward road rage, reckless driving, and harassment.
