A woman biker was injured after a speeding car allegedly rammed her motorcycle on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road in a suspected hit-and-run incident.

The collision, captured on an action camera mounted on her superbike, has since gone viral on social media.

The woman was out on a Sunday ride with fellow bikers when the incident took place. In a video posted on social media, she claimed that the occupants of the white sedan had been following her and that the driver was driving aggressively.

She initially asked the driver to maintain a safe distance. Instead, she said, the driver told her to pull over. She also claimed that the occupants of the sedan appeared to be drunk. It was not immediately clear how many people were inside the car.

The woman said she then tried to stay ahead of the sedan to prevent the driver from cutting in front of her motorcycle. As the car continued to follow her, one of her fellow riders moved behind her bike in an attempt to shield her from the vehicle.

The situation escalated when the sedan suddenly swerved and rammed the woman's motorcycle from the side. The impact threw her onto the road, while her bike skidded across the asphalt, producing a trail of sparks.

Another video, recorded by a helmet-mounted camera on a fellow rider’s motorcycle, showed him chasing the sedan. He briefly confronted the man when the car stopped at a traffic signal, but the sedan soon sped away.

She was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital, where she was admitted for treatment.

Following the incident, the Gurugram traffic police launched an investigation after the videos surfaced online.

DON'T KNOW THE DRIVER: CAR OWNER

Speaking to India Today, Manish, who is the owner of the car involved in the incident, claimed the vehicle was borrowed by his school friend, Kalyan Bainsla, who, in turn, lent it to another man.

The said person was driving the sedan at the time of the incident, the vehicle owner alleged.

"I am not in town, and I am serving with the Indian army. My school friend took my vehicle for two days," he said.

"I came across the video on social media. [My friend] then told me that his other friend, who I barely know, took the car away," Manish said in a conversation with India Today over the phone.

He said he and Kalyan were unaware of the whereabouts of the accused and the car.

The car owner also said he had not been contacted by the police over the incident.

POLICE ACTION UNDERWAY AGAINST ACCUSED

Gurugram Police was in the process of registering a case on its own in connection with the matter. The identity of the accused driver has been ascertained by the police.

Three teams have been formed to catch him. A raid was conducted at his residence, but he was not found there.

CCTV footage from the area around the site of the incident is also being examined as part of the investigation.

The investigators were also attempting to contact the woman biker to gather relevant facts related to the incident.

VIDEO SPARKS SOCIAL MEDIA OUTRAGE

The video posted by the biker has been circulating widely on social media, drawing sharp reactions from users.

A section of social media users called for the driver to be prosecuted under stringent provisions, including attempted murder, arguing that the collision did not appear to be accidental.

"[Gurugram Police] this person has to be booked under attempt to murder. It was a deliberate hit. A young girl could have lost her life or become handicapped for life. Arrest him otherwise he will do it again," an account posted on X, while reacting to the video.

"This isn't hit and run... it's hit and kill," another user wrote in their post.

"File attempt to murder. Video shows it's intentional," a third user said.
