2) it was scooty driver fault 

3) there is no FIR registered against your friend 

4) your friend has to apply to court for release of car

Without FIR police cannot keep him in custody. Go with some lawyer, police will hVe to release him with proper security. Car will be in custody of police. 

Minute matter. Dont follow police. Neither need to wait for medi all report. Police is corrupt 

Ask them copy if FIR. No FIR registered yet 

- As per law, for an accident , the police is not having power to arrest the accused , due to being a bailable offence.

- Hence, the act of police is illegal and against the norm of law, as he cannot detained the accused under this offence.

- Further, if there is an FIR , then the police has no power to release the said vehicle , without the court order, and the demand for amount by the said police is unjustified .  

- The car driver should lodge a compliant with the higher police official/DCP /SP against the police official for taking law in his hand.

- Further, if no response, then contact with a local lawyer to take bail order from the court , even there is no FIR against the car driver.

- Court court will take long time , and insurance company will be directed to pay the compensation to the injured. 

You should have not paid for medical expenses when not at fault. Now you can file a complaint against the said bike rider first. Then you can seek bail if any fir is recorded against you or if you are arrested. You can recover the money through civil suit from the person. It should be paid by insurance company through third party. 

See he can deny paying the amount and he can file a FIR against the scooty driver for rash and negligent driving. 

Further if police not releasing vehicle he can get court order for release of same.

Do not pay any money to police or any other person. 

Case will be referred to MVA court. Court will decide the amount of compensation. Insurance company will pay it.  Your friend need not to pay any money. The maximum cap of insurance is 7.5 lakh rupees. If compensation amount is fixed above the cap amount then only you need to pay the excess amount over the cap amount. 

As a law abiding citizen, your friend correctly reported the accident to the Police.

He need not pay any money to anyone more particularly the medical expense and money to police.

Since it is the fault of Scooty Driver, it is his problem.

When no FIR is booked, wait for the same and upon registering the case, if he is taken as witness it is okay, else ne needs to contest the same on merits.

He has to file an application before the concerned court for release of his Car.

in this case since fir is not registered. Law has not come into motion. And the case is neutral. But you can always write to concerned police station detailing about the incident.please note send the above writting by registered post and keep a copy for your record. This way police will become bound to take appropriate action in accordance with your letter.

The question whether your friend was at any fault or not cannot be decided now, it can be decided by court alone.

However your friend need not pay any amount to the injured or police now.

Let the police register FIR, your friend can obtain anticipatory bail from police station itself or from court and then challenge the case in court of law in the trial proceedings.
