What should I do if someone assult me after car accident

I'm extremely sorry to hear about the assault you faced. This is a serious matter and you have strong legal remedies available. Here is comprehensive legal advice for your situation:

1. CRITICAL ISSUE - NON-COGNIZABLE REPORT IS WRONG:

The police's action of registering a Non-Cognizable Report (NCR) is LEGALLY INCORRECT. Based on your description:

- You suffered head injury (grievous hurt)
- You were attacked by 3 persons
- You faced criminal intimidation/extortion (demanding money)
- You were threatened to withdraw complaint

These are COGNIZABLE OFFENCES under the Indian Penal Code, 1860:
- Section 323: Voluntarily causing hurt
- Section 325: Voluntarily causing grievous hurt (if head injury is serious)
- Section 341: Wrongful restraint
- Section 384: Extortion
- Section 506: Criminal intimidation
- Section 34: Common intention (multiple attackers)

All these are cognizable offences where police MUST register an FIR immediately without any investigation or verification.

2. IMMEDIATE ACTION - FILE COMPLAINT TO HIGHER AUTHORITIES:

a) Complaint to Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP):
- Within 7 days of incident, file written complaint to ACP of your area
- State that police refused to register FIR and filed NCR instead
- Mention that you were forced to sign settlement under threat
- Request immediate registration of FIR

b) Complaint to Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP):
- If no action within 3-4 days, escalate to DCP
- File written complaint with acknowledgment
- Mention police inaction and biased behavior

c) Karnataka State Human Rights Commission:
- If police continue to refuse, file complaint here
- Address: 2nd Floor, BMTC Complex, KH Road, Shanthinagar, Bangalore
- Online: http://www.karnatakahumanrights.kar.nic.in/

3. LEGAL ACTION AGAINST ATTACKERS:

a) File Private Criminal Complaint:
Under Section 200 of CrPC, you can directly approach Magistrate Court if police refuse to register FIR:
- Go to nearest Magistrate Court in Bangalore
- File private criminal complaint against the 3 attackers
- Include details of attack, medical reports, police NCR copy
- Magistrate can order police to register FIR or directly take cognizance

b) Required Documents:
- Medical reports showing head injury
- Photos of injuries (if you took any)
- NCR copy from police
- Witness statements (if any)
- Details of attackers (vehicle registration, names if known)
- Your signed medical bills/prescriptions

4. CHALLENGING THE "SETTLEMENT" YOU SIGNED:

The settlement you signed under threat/duress is INVALID and VOIDABLE:
- Section 15 of Indian Contract Act: Agreement by coercion is voidable
- You were under trauma, threatened, and without legal advice
- You can file affidavit stating you signed under threat and duress
- This settlement cannot be used against you

5. FILING FIR THROUGH ONLINE:

Karnataka Police has online FIR facility:
- Visit: https://cctnsservices.karnataka.gov.in/
