First visuals of Gurugram hit-and-run accused Kalyan Bainsla in police custody

A Public Interest Litigation has been filed in the Karnataka High Court challenging the state government's order restricting the singing of the national song, Vande Mataram, to its first two stanzas at government functions. The state government's directive provides an exception for official events attended by the President, Vice President, Prime Minister, or Governor, where all six stanzas may be sung. The petition, filed by Advocate Girish Bharadwaj, questions whether a state government has the authority to prescribe the form and content of a national symbol through an executive order. The petitioner contends that the order goes against the national interest. The matter is set to be mentioned before the Karnataka High Court.

A female biker recounted a harrowing hit-and-run incident on Golf Course Road in Gurugram, where a speeding car with tinted windows pursued and collided with her motorcycle. She stated that the occupants appeared intoxicated, made inappropriate gestures, and persistently chased her despite requests to keep a safe distance. A fellow rider attempted to shield her, but the car made an aggressive cut, striking her bike before fleeing the scene. Rejecting the driver's claim that his sister was inside the vehicle, she described the episode as deeply traumatizing for female riders. She confirmed that an FIR has been filed by her family and demanded strict police action, terming the act an attempt to murder.

Sia, the Gurugram woman biker, who survived a hit-and-run incident, when a car chased and rammed her on a busy road, said she will still continue to ride a bike. However, she said she felt scared and afraid to go alone after the incident.
