Gurugram biker hit-and-run case: Accused arrested after attempt-to-murder charge; police say he tried to escape on pretext of urinating

Gurugram, Haryana – On 13 September 2026, a 32‑year‑old woman riding a scooter was struck from behind by a motorbike on Sector 14’s main road. The collision caused severe head and leg injuries, and the victim was rushed to Medanta Hospital, where she remains in stable condition, according to a statement from the hospital’s emergency department.

Police investigations, supported by CCTV footage and three eyewitness accounts, identified the rider as a 28‑year‑old individual (name withheld pending trial). The rider allegedly fled the scene, claiming he needed to urinate, before disappearing into a nearby residential area. A coordinated manhunt led to his apprehension on 14 September 2026 near a local market, where he was taken into custody without incident.

The Haryana Police have charged the accused under Indian Penal Code sections 307 (attempt to murder) and 279 (rash driving). In a press briefing, the investigating officer said the pre‑text of urination was a deliberate attempt to evade responsibility and that forensic analysis of the bike’s brake marks corroborated the victim’s testimony.

The case has drawn attention from state authorities, prompting the Haryana Transport Department to announce a review of traffic‑safety measures in high‑density zones. Further inquiries into the accused’s prior traffic violations are underway.

The investigation remains active, and officials have pledged to keep the public informed as new evidence emerges. Sources: NDTV, India Today, DD News. The police will file a report soon.
