The attempt to murder charge was added on Tuesday. She alleged that the driver of a white Maruti Ciaz followed her and repeatedly signalled for her to stop after driving dangerously close to her. “I was travelling with my family. I didn’t make any gestures at the young woman; I simply asked her to ride her bike slowly. I admit that a collision occurred. Had I stopped right then, those people would have beaten us up,” Bainsla was quoted as saying by news agency ANI. Gurugram Police took suo motu cognisance of the incident after the video went viral on social media.
A FIR was registered against the car under Sections 125 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) and 281 (rash driving) of BNS at Sector-56 police station on Monday.
