Hi everyone,
I’m a 21-year-old working student from Barrackpore, West Bengal. I drive a Toto (e-rickshaw) to support my education. On 20th March around 12:30 PM, I was involved in a minor road accident with a 50-year-old man named Debasish, who was riding a bicycle from the opposite direction. We accidentally collided, and he fractured four fingers on his left hand.

I didn’t run or ignore the situation—I gave him immediate first aid and ensured he got medical attention. Since then, out of goodwill and moral responsibility, I’ve been helping him daily with his small business and personal errands. This went on for almost a month, during which I lost potential income from driving my Toto.

Now, despite my support and intention to settle things peacefully, Debasish has suddenly started threatening me. He says he’ll file a police FIR against me and also disrupt my work as a Toto driver. I’ve never denied my involvement, and I’ve gone out of my way to help him, but I’m now being mentally harassed.

I want to know:

Can he still legally file a case after one month?

Should I file a General Diary (GD) to protect myself?

What legal rights do I have if he continues to threaten me?

How can I close this matter peacefully?

I’ve never been in legal trouble before and really don’t want this to turn ugly. Any legal advice or suggestions from people who’ve dealt with similar issues would really help.

Thanks in advance.

Bro he can’t do anything just block and ignore

On what basis will he file a fir, police hate filing firs for petty non serious things. If he goes to cops they will file an nc and that’s basically nothing just some paperwork to make the complainant feel special.

In order to make the police act on the nc complainant has to get court order and that’s not gonna happen

Contact a local club or TMC party office they will help you. Maybe that’s how it works in WB.
