Gurugram hit-and-run victim Siya releases video statement on the incident that sparked outrage
In a 3-minute video, biker Siya responds to the accused driver's claim that 22-23 people were involved and that only two clips have circulated. She says those two clips are decisive: one shows the car moving from the first lane to the third, hitting her and driving away; her front camera shows her scraping along the car and falling onto the road. Siya rejects the claim that the driver did not know she was a woman, saying her long braid was visible and that he had already told her to stop. She also asks why he never stopped to check whether she was injured, saying a difference of two or three seconds could have meant broken bones or death, and ties the incident to how unsafe women feel on Gurugram and Delhi roads.
Why it mattersThis is the victim's own account of a widely discussed road incident, with specific claims about what the available video evidence shows and why leaving the scene matters.
