In a major escalation of the Gurugram hit-and-run case, biker Sia Shivani Chauhan has released a video statement alleging a deliberate attempt on her life.
The investigation into the high-profile hit-and-run case in Gurugram has taken a dramatic turn. Sia, also known as Shivani Chauhan, the biker who was struck by a car, released her first video statement late Monday night. In a stinging rebuttal to the accused's claims, she asserted that the incident was a calculated attack rather than a mere road mishap.
Sia directly challenged the narrative provided by the accused, who had previously suggested that he was being harassed. "If they were bothering me, why was he following us?" she questioned in her video. She further alleged that the driver deliberately swerved his vehicle into her lane to cause the collision, indicating clear intent.
Why This Matters
BozokMedia analysis shows that the legal classification of this incident will set a precedent for how 'intentional vehicular assaults' are handled in urban India. Moving from 'negligence' to 'attempted murder' significantly changes the judicial trajectory of the case.
"The visual evidence of the victim being dragged a significant distance suggests a level of force that goes beyond accidental contact."
Following the statement, the victim's father, Roshan Chauhan, along with legal counsel, approached the Sector 56 Police Station in Gurugram. While the police have already registered a suo motu FIR, the family is demanding that more stringent sections, specifically for attempted murder, be added to the charges.
Roshan Chauhan expressed deep emotional distress, noting that his daughter was in a state of severe shock following the incident, which delayed her reporting it to the family. "The video clearly shows her being dragged. This was not a simple accident; it was an attempt on her life," he stated firmly.

Historically, hit-and-run cases in India were often treated under simple negligence laws. However, following several high-profile incidents and public outcry, there has been a massive push to implement stricter penalties and recognize the criminal intent behind fleeing the scene of an accident.
