A Gurugram court has remanded the accused in the woman-biker case to judicial custody for 14 days. The order was passed after the police custody of the two accused ended. The case was registered after a video of the incident circulated on social media.
Gurugram: A Gurugram court on September 18 remanded Kalyan Bainsla, the driver accused of hitting a woman biker, and a co-accused named Lavneesh to judicial custody for 14 days [State v. Kalyan Bainsla and Another].
Judicial Magistrate First Class Nidhi Beniwal passed the order after the police custody of the two accused ended.
The remand
According to the case records, the two accused had earlier been remanded to the custody of the Gurugram police for two days, following their arrest from Rajasthan. With that police custody at an end, the court sent them to judicial custody for 14 days.
The accused were arrested in a case registered by the Sector 55/56 police station. As per the police, the case invokes Sections 109, 281 and 125 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, described in the case as attempt to murder, rash driving, and an act endangering the life or personal safety of others. The police have also invoked Sections 78 and 79 of the BNS, relating to stalking and to a word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman.
The case
According to the police, the case was registered after the complainant posted a video on social media showing a vehicle, allegedly driven by Bainsla, speeding towards her and hitting her bike on Golf Course Road. The police said the video was captured by a camera mounted on the bike. In court records, Bainsla is referred to as Kalyan Singh.
The complainant has alleged that the accused harassed her before the collision and left the spot after the incident. The police said they registered a suo motu case after the video circulated on social media, and that Section 109 of the BNS was added to the case at a later stage, the offence not having been invoked initially.
These are the allegations of the complainant and the police. They have not been tested in court, and the guilt of the accused has not been established.
Why it matters
Judicial custody is the stage at which an accused is held in jail, rather than in police custody, while the investigation continues. The order follows the standard course after a period of police custody ends, and does not reflect any finding on the merits of the allegations.
The investigation is at an early stage. The accused are entitled to apply for bail, and to the presumption of innocence until the case is decided.
