        Around 2 weeks back I had a car accident. 3 guys on a scooty were speeding and were drunk (it also showed up on the blood reports but the driver apparently wasnโ€™t drunk). They rammed into my car and got heavily injured themselves and there was a lot of damage caused to my car as well. I called the police and went to the police station , filed the report and did all the necessary things.

        Now the issue is , the other party doesnโ€™t wanna take the issue to the court , infact , they havenโ€™t even contacted the police even once. Now my car is stuck in the police station. I got in contact with a lawyer and he said heโ€™s gonna get a court order and get my car released but heโ€™s demanding 20k for this procedure.

        What can I do in this scenario? Should I just pay this money to the lawyer and get the work done?

          When our car was impounded after a minor accident, we had to pay a fine at the traffic court to release our car. It was a nominal fine from what I remember. Talk to one of the police officers at the station, they will guide you through the process and where to go. I think the lawyer is fleecing you.
