UYesterday, my partner and I were driving to Bangalore airport from HSR Layout in our car (Punto). After Hebbal, on the outer ring road, traffic was at its peak, and there was significant congestion. Everyone was stuck in the jam, and there was no movement at all when suddenly a car (Polo) came from behind and collided with us. The impact was strong, but thankfully, we were wearing seat belts, so we weren’t injured. The sound of the crash made everyone look in this direction. The other car hit us forcefully, and we noticed the driver was on his phone at the time.
We have recordings from the scene showing the damage. Our car sustained only minor damage, with some scratches and a damaged light. The other driver gave us his phone number and mentioned he owns a workshop where he could repair the damage or he agreed to cover the damages and share the bill with him. Since I had a flight to catch, we agreed to this arrangement.
However, after the accident, when we tried to contact him, he claimed he was on the way somewhere and promised to send the workshop details via WhatsApp. After that, he stopped responding entirely. Using his number, we managed to find his workshop location and Instagram account and page for business. We kept trying to reach him, but whenever he picked up, he stayed silent. We ended up fixing the light issue at a nearby workshop for just ₹1500, leaving only a small dent and some scratches on the car.
Now, we’re unsure what steps to take next. I also have videos of him speaking on the phone even after the accident.

AFile a case in the nearest police station. He will come down for a discussion. Make him pay for the repairs and ask him to get the dent removed and get the paint job done.
