Hello, It means no such spot evidence, FIR must be filled immediately and investigation can be trated for cognizable offence only. In case he files any complain, police will investigate the matter, so not to worry about it and please do not pay any amount. Revert back if necessary.

Let him file the case of MACT first. He will have to file and show all the medical documents, leave from office and other damages caused to him related to that accident.

He can also file a criminal case under section 279/337 IPC.

Do not panic, let him take proper steps first. Then revert accordingly.

Don't give any kind of money. Tell him to file a case. U r supposed to pay such huge amount. You might win a case. So I would suggest you to fight rather than giving him money. Revert me if you need any help. All the best.
