In an interview with India Today, biker Shivani Chauhan, also known as Siya, and her father Roshan Chauhan spoke about the viral Gurugram hit-and-run incident on Golf Course Road. Chauhan detailed how a speeding car chased and collided with her motorcycle, stating, "It was intentional." Describing her physical injuries and trauma, she rejected claims made by the accused driver's legal counsel alleging rash driving on her part. Chauhan emphasized that the driver's arrest was merely an initial measure, stating, "Arrest is just the first step," and called for strict punishment for everyone involved in the vehicle. Her father asserted that ramming a two-ton vehicle at high speed amounts to an attempt to murder and raised concerns regarding women's safety on public roads.

00:00I am joined by Shivani Chauhan and Siyah and Roshan Chauhan, the father of Siyah.
00:06Thank you very much for coming.
00:08I would like to ask you first, Siyah, how are your habits?
00:12After such a big accident, are you okay? Any injuries?
00:20Yes, I mean, I have an injury in my knees.
00:23I have an injury in my entire body, like, body pain in my back and legs, so physically I am
00:36still recovering.
00:38But you are okay otherwise?
00:40You are okay otherwise?
00:43Yes, I am fine.
00:44Yes, I am fine.
00:45But when you hear, Siyah, when you heard today that the person who hit you in that car has been
00:52arrested, what was your first feeling?
00:55Because he had been, he had virtually run away from the law, he was finally arrested today.
01:01What was your first feeling when you heard that he has been arrested?
01:06Yes, I have known from the media sources that they have been arrested.
01:14And see, there was no shocking reaction that someone had intentionally hit and hit so quickly, that someone could be
01:30dead.
01:32So, if a person would run away from that incident after that incident, and the police would arrest him,
01:39then obviously, that person had no crime done.
01:42That's why he was arrested.
01:45And arresting him is not a safe action.
01:48This is the first step, I think.
01:51So, this is the first step, I think.
01:51So, what happened after that incident, and after that incident, when there is no reward for them, and their three
02:00friends,
02:00then I will not believe that there is no strict action.
02:07But, this will tell me, and I will then come to your father.
02:10This will tell me.
02:10Today, when his lawyer says, no, it was Sia who was driving rashly.
02:17She came in the way.
02:18I had nothing to do with it.
02:20I actually tried to avoid hitting her.
02:22And what will they say?
02:28Sia?
02:29Sia, do you want to respond?
02:31Sia, do you want to ask me?
02:34You are asking me.
02:36I'm asking you to ask me.
02:36So, when my lawyer...
02:38Okay, you ask me.
02:41When I hear my lawyer's opinion,
02:45I am very angry.
02:49I am angry.
02:49And I am angry.
02:51I mean, how can they deny this thing that they were not wrong?
03:37And was he following you right through? Was this person following you when you were driving the bike? You were
03:43part of a group of bikers. This incident happened on Sunday. You were part of a group.
03:48And was he following you throughout?
04:18So basically, what happened?
04:46What happened?
04:48What happened?
04:52What happened?
04:53What happened?
04:55What happened?
05:26What happened?
05:41What happened?
05:43What happened?
06:12What happened?
06:31What happened?
07:07What happened?
07:07What happened?
07:09What happened?
07:25What happened?
07:31What happened?
07:36What happened?
07:38What happened?
07:45What happened?
07:48What happened?
07:51What happened?
07:52What happened?
07:53you are not going to stop, and they are also going to dump, and at that time, you can see
08:00them,
08:00their hair is growing, their hair has been opened, like I have been drinking for 3 days,
08:05and the next day, I am making a saving, cleaning my eyes and showing me the media,
08:10that there was no mistake, I didn't know it was wrong.
08:15This is not a small thing, this is my daughter who had facilities and cameras,
08:21and I have been in India, many women who are like this, who will be hit and run,
08:28and there will not be a story, there will not be a story, there will not be a story,
08:31where there are not cameras, so in Gurdama, like in the ITAC city,
08:37if there are such people who are not afraid of giving such a disaster,
08:42then the government has a great pleasure, and they are also the day.
08:49It is a story, my daughter.
08:52It is a story, my daughter.
08:52It is a story, it is a story, like Guru Gram,
08:56Guru Gram says you in Millennium City,
08:58and in Millennium City, something like this happened, not the first time,
09:03but Sia, have you thought that I will not do biking?
09:07I mean, you are part of a biker gang, or a biker group,
09:10I will say that I will not do a gang word, biker group, you are biking every weekend.
09:14Now, are you thinking twice, I don't want to go biking,
09:17because tomorrow, somebody else may be out there, who will drive like this and knock me over.
09:21Now, are you going to do biking?
09:26No, see, the incident that happened,
09:29I am traumatized by a little bit.
09:33There is a fear in my mind,
09:35because, look, today or tomorrow,
09:39we will not bring a strict action to this incident,
09:42we will not bring an example set,
09:45so I don't think that there will be fear in people's minds.
09:48There will be fear in people's minds,
09:50and when we will not bring them to the police,
09:53there will be many people,
09:54who are walking in Delhi,
09:57who are chasing the female riders,
10:00who are chasing them,
10:01who are chasing them,
10:01who are trying to follow them,
10:03and who are trying to follow them,
10:06so I feel like,
10:08that when we will not bring this action,
10:10then I will be scared again,
10:12to go to Delhi and the road.
10:16And perhaps,
10:17I also feel like,
10:19that there is a fear in my mind,
10:21that I feel like,
10:22in Delhi and the streets,
10:24and around the streets,
10:25and on their roads,
10:26I feel like myself.
10:29I want to ask you this.
10:30You said, male ego.
10:32Do you feel, because you are a woman,
10:34that's why the person thought he could get away?
10:36You are a female,
10:37that's why I can hit her and get away?
10:43Yes, obviously.
10:44And I feel like,
10:45I am not the only female rider,
10:48who has faced this thing in my life.
10:50There are so many people,
10:52who are going on rides,
10:56there are also inter-city rides,
10:58who are going on long rides,
11:00who are going on the whole village bikes,
11:03who are going on the whole village bikes.
11:04They have to face so many harassment,
11:06how many people are chasing them,
11:09and chasing them,
11:10they will be able to take their car,
11:14and they will be able to comment,
11:17and they will be able to face them.
11:18These are all the things,
11:19which you have to face.
11:21And,
11:22I feel like,
