A woman biker in Gurugram, in a video that has since gone viral, said that drunk men in a car chased her and rammed her motorcycle on Golf Course Road. The impact threw her onto the road before the car sped away. The hit-and-run was captured on an action camera mounted on her bike.
The rider, identified as Sia, said the incident took place on Sunday while she was riding her Aprilia RS 457 with members of her biking group. She sustained severe injuries and was admitted to a nearby hospital. Gurugram Traffic Police have launched an investigation based on the video.

In the video posted online, Sia said the occupants of a white sedan had been chasing her from the start of the ride. She said the car approached aggressively and when she asked the driver to maintain a safe distance, she was told to stop her motorcycle. Sia alleged the men appeared to be drunk. It is unclear how many men were in the car.
Sia tried to stay ahead to prevent the car from cutting in front of her, she said. A fellow rider behind her attempted to shield her by positioning his bike between her and the car. She alleged the sedan continued to pursue her before making a sharp cut and striking her motorcycle from the side. The impact threw her onto the asphalt, and her bike skidded along the road before the car sped away.
Another video, recorded on the helmet camera of Sia's fellow rider, showed him chasing the sedan and confronting the driver after the car stopped at a traffic signal. The driver denied responsibility and drove away.

The clip drew widespread attention online, with users tagging Delhi Police, Gurugram Police, Gurugram Traffic Police and Haryana Police, demanding action against the driver. Many called for an FIR to be registered and raised concerns over road safety and rash driving in the city.
