A Gurugram court on Friday sent Kalyan Singh Bainsla and his cousin Lavneesh to 14 days of judicial custody for the hit-and-run of biker Shivani Chauhan on Golf Course Road. The two were arrested from Rajgarh, Rajasthan, after a two-day search. Police say Bainsla, returning from a club, allegedly chased Chauhan for about 2 km before ramming her motorcycle.
Separately, a group of men held a car rally and a mahapanchayat in support of Bainsla. Chauhan said the rally was an attempt to "change the narrative" and insisted the incident was not about caste or community. "Something wrong happened to me on the road, and it can happen to anyone," she said. Police are yet to confirm if the accused were drunk. The next hearing is awaited.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both NDTV and Times of India report the core facts identically: Bainsla is in judicial custody for ramming a woman biker. Where coverage diverges is on framing. Times of India foregrounds the public support rally for Bainsla, including a mahapanchayat and social media posts, and counters it with the victim's statement that such support tries to change the narrative. NDTV leads with the custody development alone. The difference is that Times of India gives the support event its own story, treating it as a newsworthy development alongside the legal one, while NDTV treats the legal fact as the only story. The victim's rebuttal is only in Times of India. The court will hear the next bail or custody application on a date yet to be announced.
