If I hadn’t been wearing my riding shoes and gloves, the impact on my hand could have even broken my shoulder. My leg could have been broken too,” she said.

A second video of the incident has also surfaced.
The video was captured by the camera of another rider following behind. Accused says ‘lost control of vehicle’ The accused, Bainsla, while talking to PTI, admitted the accident was his fault but denied hitting her deliberately, saying he “lost control near a U-turn”. “About 20 to 22 motorcyclists sped past me.
I didn’t realise a young woman was riding one of the bikes; I had simply asked her and the young man accompanying her to slow down. I did not hit them intentionally,” he said. A gym owner and an “international kabaddi player”, Bainsla deactivated his Instagram after the incident.
While he alleged that he was travelling with his sister and two cousins, Sia said that there were no women in the car at the time of the incident. Naveen Bainsla, advocate of the accused, defended him. He called the Gurugram crash a case of negligence and overspeeding.
