Most of the time, victim registers a complaint regarding the accident, sometimes they are not in a state to register a complaint due to injuries and sometimes they are unconscious for one day or two, which results in a delay in filing the case. Often complaints are made by the relatives of the accident victims, but the complainants are not present at the time of the accident, so the information about the nature of the accident only comes after a thorough investigation by the police.

When the case is being heard in court, as the complainant is not aware of the place of the accident or some other detail, the accused benefit from the technical errors.

For this, if a cop who is present there after the accident or conducts a preliminary investigation, it can help the accused to be punished,” said Ankush Shinde, Commissioner of Police, Pimpri-Chinchwad.
