So this happened at Narsinghpur near Kherki Daula on NH8 when I was coming from work. Immediately retrieved the footage from the dashcam, called 112, and went to the nearby Police Station. His number was put through the e-challan machine. I got his number, and he was called by the IO, wherein he agreed to come to PS. After that, he ignored calls and was finally picked up by a lady who was told he would have to come one way or another through an FIR. The next day he wasn’t picking up calls from IO. So I called him up, still didn’t pick it up. So left a WhatsApp message that I would file an FIR within an hour if he didn’t show up at PS. He then proceeded to call me up and accepted his mistake but gave a pretty bad excuse that his mobile phone came in between the break, and that’s why he couldn’t break and couldn’t pick up calls as his phone had been damaged due to it. I asked for filing charges and NCB, which he accepted, finally leading to a settlement.
Damage to my vehicle:
Here's what BHPian Meph1st0 had to say on the matter:
Glad that you are alright.
See how quickly he escaped after damaging your vehicle.Clearly highlights why a dash cam is needed, or else there would be no way to catch him.
You were also lucky that his number plate was visible momentarily after hitting your car else the headlight glare blocks it. And of course, the cops seemed to be helpful.
