What we know about the incident
She said she initially asked the driver to maintain a safe distance but the driver told her to pull over instead.
A fellow biker tried to shield Sia by riding behind her motorcycle.
The situation, however, escalated when the sedan allegedly rammed into Sia's motorcycle, throwing her off and dragging the bike for several meters.
After the collision, another biker chased the sedan and confronted its driver at a traffic signal, but he fled.
Investigation underway
Owner was not driving car
The owner of the car has said that he was not driving the car.
"I serve in the Army and I am currently on duty in Assam," the owner, Manish, told news channels.
He said his friend, Kalyan, borrowed the car from his family on Sunday and came to know about the incident only after the video went viral.
On Instagram, Kalyan Bainsla identifies himself as an 'international kabaddi player' and a member of the 'Indian rugby team.'
