My father had an accident on the 15th of May last year. I only got the police report on the 25th of June. The officer hinted that he could change the report and blame my father if I didn’t pay him. Is this even possible?

No, it is illegal for a police officer to tamper with a report or blame your father for the accident in exchange for payment. This constitutes bribery and extortion, which are serious offenses under Indian law. You should report this incident to a senior police officer or the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

My family received a court settlement in 1998 after an accident. The initial amount was low, so we appealed in the Karnataka High Court, which increased the settlement. This money was deposited as a fixed deposit in SBM Bank. Now, after I turned 18, I went to the bank to withdraw the funds, only to find that the increased amount awarded by the High Court isn’t in the deposit. The bank says it’s the court’s fault for not sending the additional money. They’ve only added the initial amount and its interest, leaving out the enhanced portion. What can I do now to get the full amount?
