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.

“A relative of the injured or dead person who is not present at the time of the accident becomes the complainant. 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. This causes difficulties in getting justice for the injured as well as the families of the deceased or victims. 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.

1) The place of the accident should be visited immediately.

2) Evidence which can be destroyed from the scene, should be collected immediately.

4) If the complainant is not present, the police should file a complaint on behalf of the government after observing the circumstantial evidence or the situation at the scene of the incident.

5) After the occurrence of an accident, along with getting medical help to the accident victim, the process of filing a case should be within four hours.
