Hi everyone, posting here because my family is completely stuck and emotionally drained. Looking for advice on how to handle the Delhi Police and this specific situation.

The Incident:

On 18th April 2026, around 9:00 AM, my father was hit by a Maruti Suzuki Ignis (Registration No: DL 12CT **63) right near Rosewalk Hospital in Panchsheel Park.

What happened next:

The driver who hit him actually took my father to the hospital.

His son arrived shortly after.

A formal MLC (Medico-Legal Case) was made by the hospital.

At that time, the driver's son admitted it was their fault and explicitly promised us that they would pay for all the medical expenses. They even paid an initial amount of approx ₹10,000/- for immediate expenses.

The Current Problem (1 Month Later):

It has been exactly one month today. After that initial ₹10k, the accused party has completely backed out and is refusing to clear the rest of the hospital and medical bills. To make things worse, the Investigating Officer (IO) handling the case flat-out refused to register an FIR.

We have been running around in circles for 30 days. No solution, no FIR, and the IO is clearly siding with them or just trying to brush this under the carpet. My father is recovering, but the financial and mental stress of dealing with this system is breaking us.

My Questions to the Community:

Since they already paid ₹10,000 initially, doesn't that act as an admission of their involvement/fault? How can I use this against them?

How can I force the police to file an FIR when the IO is actively refusing?

Can I directly complain to the DCP or ACP of the South Delhi area? What is the process?

Since we have the MLC, the car number, and proof of their partial payment, can we move the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal (MACT) even without an FIR?

Any help, leads, or upvotes to get this some visibility would mean the world to my family right now. Thank you.
