Gurugram Police have confirmed that the accused in the Sector 56 hit-and-run incident, Kalyan Basla, deliberately hit woman biker Shivani Chauhan, also known as Siya.

Meanwhile, Chauhan was taken to a government hospital for a medical examination to document her injuries as crucial evidence. She is also scheduled to record her statement before a magistrate under Section 164. The Deputy Commissioner of Police stated that detailed interrogation will be conducted following court remand.

The Central Consumer Protection Authority has escalated its investigation into Apple's software warranty terms in India following complaints from iPhone users regarding display glitches. Several consumers reported green, pink, and white lines on screens as well as audio issues after installing the iOS 18 update, incurring repair costs of around 27,000 to 28,000 rupees. The regulator stated that charging users for hardware problems linked to software updates could violate fair trade principles. Apple has rejected the allegations, arguing that excluding software from warranty coverage is a global industry practice and it cannot insure against every technological risk. If found liable, the company could face penalties, refunds, or mandatory changes to its warranty terms.

Gurugram Police, in coordination with Rajasthan Police, detained Kalyan Bainsla from Dausa in connection with the Gurugram hit-and-run case involving a woman biker. The accused fled from Gurugram to Palwal before heading towards Rajasthan as the video of the incident went viral.

The victim's father welcomed the swift police action and the addition of stringent charges, describing the incident as an attempt to murder rather than a routine road accident. Investigators are collecting CCTV footage, examining the incident route, and recording statements from eyewitnesses, co-bikers, and the accused to complete the investigation and submit a chargesheet in court.
