Jaldi karo
Accident victim ki madad karun toh kya police mujhe pareshan karegi?
Simple answer
Nahi. Law achhe iraade se madad karne wale (Good Samaritan) ko protect karta hai. Madad ke baad bhi victim ko nuksaan ho ya maut ho jaaye, toh aap zimmedaar nahi. Koi aapko naam batane, gawah banne ya ilaaj ka paisa dene par majboor nahi kar sakta, aur aap turant ja sakte ho.
Real-life examples
Jaipur ke paas highway par Ayesha ne ek biker ko khoon mein lathpath dekha. Usne 112 call kiya aur use paas ke hospital le gayi. Hospital ne bina paisa ya naam poochhe ilaaj shuru kiya, aur jo dekha tha bata kar Ayesha chali gayi.
Rahul ne khud ek cyclist ko takkar maari aur phir use hospital le gaya. Woh Good Samaritan nahi hai. Driver hone ke naate use phir bhi police ko accident report karna hoga aur insurer ko batana hoga.
Aapko kya karna chahiye?
- 1112 (ya ambulance ke liye 108) par call karo aur exact location batao.
- 2Safe ho toh injured ko paas ke hospital le jao. Chot ke baad pehla ghanta (golden hour) sabse important hai.
- 3Police ya hospital ko batao aapne kya dekha. Naam aur phone number dena aapki marzi hai.
- 4Madad ka proof chahiye? Hospital se letterhead par acknowledgement maango.
- 5Agar aap gawah banne ko taiyaar ho, toh ghar ya office par, apne convenient time par poochtaachh ki maang karo.
- 6Agar aapne kisi ki jaan bachayi, toh district authorities se sarkar ke Rah-Veer award (₹25,000 aur certificate) ke baare mein poochho.
Exceptions aur zaroori baatein
- Ye protection unke liye hai jo apni marzi se, achhe iraade se aur bina reward ki ummeed ke madad karte hain. Accident karne wale driver par ye laagu nahi.
- Agar aap gawah banna choose karte ho, toh statement aur shayad gawahi deni hogi. Rules affidavit par gawahi aur video conferencing ka zyada use allow karte hain.
