RSo my car had an issue and it wasn’t able to climb the exit of society basement. My friend was supposed to push it but he was a bit absent minded so i started reversing it back to the base of parking to retry.now suddenly this society president also started reversing his car out of nowhere and i rear ended him . His VW car got minor scratches. Initially we both were shocked but then he came out and started shouting . I said i am sorry lets assess the damage and that i ll take my car forward. When i was sitting in my car to take it forward, he grabbed my phone from passenger seat and started shouting and called society guards. Now i agreed to pay for his damages since exit ramp is supposed to be used for exit only . Later he sends an invoice of 7k for painting and denting which seemed too much but i called the shop and they denied any extra repairs .
Now later he says his logo alphabet on back also fell due to accident and that i have to pay for that also 3k in a rude manner. I finally paid 3 k more for peace of mind. What should i have done better??? Is grabbing someone’s phone legal? He kept threatening that he knows how to deal with people like me when i denied to pay 3k since there was no proof -
UYeah bro, unfortunately as a renter myself, i have observed these owners will always be rowdy, and in this case he is society president, so forget about fairplay.
Just take it as a learning and forget it as a bad day.
People might suggest to fight back and seek legal options and lot of other ideas, but you know ultimately what’s good for your peace of mind.

ANext time don’t pay. Very difficult to get the money back once you’ve paid it. He has to go through legal process to recover the money which means that he has to file a case. He can file a complaint but cops cannot legally force you to pay any money. You will however have to devote time, money and energy to contest the matter. So far as your question of him grabbing your phone, do you gave any video of it? If so, depending on hope severe the threats were and if any physical assault was involved, you may have a case but if there’s No video then maybe drop it.

RNo no, my question is could i have slapped the person for snatching my phone? Also he is influential in the society and i am not from the state and live on rent so i thought to just pay for peace of mind.

EVW cars are expensive to repair, I’d say just forget about it now as you have already paid him.
What you could have done better in this scenario was to ask him to claim his own damage insurance. You could have paid him filing charges (1200-2000 max.) and the NCB he would lose (20% of the premium) next year.
