Paid Bribe to settle matter with offender

Reported on January 10, 2020 from Bangalore , Karnataka  ι Report #219106

Place: Nelamangala Police Station, Bangalore
Date of incident: 5th Jan 2020, 3PM
Truck hit my car from behind while waiting for Fastag clearance in Nelamangala Toll Area.
My car back area was severely damaged. Traffic police came on the spot and asked us settle the ourselves. I was shocked and insisted to take the truck to police station. Finally ended up burning my own pocket by paying bribe to police officials and also repairing damaged car. My car is still in service station. As per initial estimation, I have to shelve 40 to 50K ( As car being more than 5 years old) apart from the insurance.
Why there is so much ambiguity in law in handling this kind of minor car accidents.
Why we have to leave car in police station for indefinite days for inspection ?
If we are in outskirts, are we expected to book a lodge near by and stay and wait for our to be released by police station?Why there is no 24x7 spot inspection with RTO ?
