# Car owner says friend was driving in Gurugram biker hit-and-run

2026-09-14T07:28:46+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk

Corroboration: 9 independent outlets

The owner of the car that hit a woman biker on Gurugram's Golf Course Road told NDTV that his friend Kalyan was driving, not him. Manish, an Army soldier posted in Assam, said his family handed the car keys to Kalyan on Sunday. The rider, Sia, had shared the car's registration number in her viral Instagram post. Sia alleged the car chased her group and rammed her Aprilia RS 457, throwing her onto the road. Gurugram Police have taken suo motu cognisance and are analysing the footage. Police said they have not yet received a formal complaint from Sia. The owner told NDTV he learned of the incident only after the video went viral. The car has two pending e-challans.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The car's registered owner told NDTV a friend named Kalyan was driving. Most outlets framed the story around the rider's account and the viral video, while NDTV led with the owner's claim, and Deccan Chronicle mentioned him as a senior police officer. The lack of an immediate FIR from the rider and the pending challans on the vehicle add context. Police have not confirmed the driver's identity or filed charges. The statement from the owner and the driver's whereabouts remain unverified by investigators.
