We hadnt told our parents at home, though they sensed something had happened to her. She had initially attributed her discomfort to body pain from the gym. She had called me first when the accident occurred. She told me there had been an accident. At first, I thought she had slipped. Then she explained that it was a hit-and-run. Someone had been chasing her and making abusive gestures, he said. You must have seen the video; she was signalling them to keep their distance. Yet, they rolled down their window and made very offensive gestures. There were four people in the vehicle, and all of them were drunk. She told me this. This happened between 7:30 and 8:00 AM. The men had likely been out drinking since the night before and encountered her on the road in the morning. She is experiencing something akin to trauma. Regarding the FIR registered in Gurugram, our lawyer has spoken to the SHO there about further action. We will also be filing an FIR on our own behalf," he added. The victims father said that they would have registered police complaint if they had got to know about the incident earlier. I only found out about the accident an hour ago. Otherwise, I would have gone and filed an FIR myself. It wasnt even night; it happened during the day. We are fortunate that our daughter wasnt hurtI asked her, If such an incident happened, why didnt you tell us? You should have told us when you got home," he said. Abhishek Chauhan, advocate of victim Sia, said that she somehow managed to get home. "We are going to file a complaint now... She told me about the incidentit happened yesterday morning. There were four guys in a car who were drunk. They had tried to tease her earlier; she gestured for them to move asideyou can see this in the videotelling them to back off. Then, as they drove past, they sideswiped her vehicle and sped away. The incident took place near Golf Course Road in Gurgaon, he said.
