PI was involved in an vehicle accident where my bike(Royal Enfield Meteor 350) collided with another scooty(vida v2). I was going in the right lane of a major road at 40-60 kmph with my riding gloves and helmet on. At a very u-turn point i slowed down to 40 and suddenly the scooty which was almost on the white lines in the middle of lanes decided to take a right turn and came in my path, he had no helmet neither did he use the turn signal/indicator ,i tried to break and stop but however the vehicles collided and the scooty fell down on road and the part where i hit had a small dent/scratch but when it fell to ground the front plastic parts came apart and the license plate also came apart, the seat also came apart. he had his shoe torn and minor injuries on hand due to impact from falling on road. He created a huge scene saying I was coming at 80kmph and hit him while he was waiting to turn stating he was stationery. We have gone to police station and the police said if you want a fir on your name then go forward with the case else talk, pay and settle your issue personally with him. I immediately called my friends who study law for advice, one of them said he is a local in the area and minority(muslim) so the police and court will support them often. Another said it’s a huge hassle going through court/case you’ll have to pay fees too and it will take time, just pay for repairs and settle. the police took away my keys and asked for Vehicle documents. i submitted them, now current situation is that my dad came in and talked with the person and said he’ll pay for damage caused and then the guy signed on the complaint he gave that we compromised and then the police gave me keys and asked me to leave but the guy is demanding 10k+ and justifying that his phone got damaged, he got damaged and the scooty.
sorry for the confusing context. feel free to ask anything. help me on what to do if he asks an absurd amount of money tomorrow.

MYou have only two options
1. Settle and don’t regret about the money paid.
2. File a case, go through the hassle, claim insurance, spend more in legal costs than what you would have paid in point 1 above and regret/not regret.Either way you’re gonna lose money. That’s the problem with decent people.

MMy two cents would be let it go and don’t think about it. He is not gonna ask for money and even if he does don’t entertain.

Phe said he’ll call tomorrow and send bill, what if we don’t pay, will he reopen the complaint? is it possible?
-
MI’m not sure what terms you have agreed to. But you shouldn’t have asked for the bill. Instead you should have insisted to get it repaired at your known mechanic. He is extorting because he knows you’re concerned about the complaint.

MShould have gone ahead with the complaint if it wasn’t your fault.
He was riding someone else’s vehicle, without helmet and moreover changing lanes without indicator. The owner also would be impleaded and they would have backed off. -
