It is definitely a serious issue attracting strict charges and penalty. It's an criminal offence of negligent driving covered under Indian Penal Code and penalty will also be levied under Civil law i.e. Motor Vehicle Act. If deceased family is asking 4 lakh to rest the matter , it is advised to settle the case outside court.
