Once an accident victim is taken to the hospital a legal case has to be made. It is called medico legal case. And the hospital needs to inform the nearest police station. This to ensure that no accident gets brushed under the rug. Police then has to do an investigation into the matter and find out the exact details.
if the hospital doesn't draw up a mlc document then they can be sued for malpractice. But if they do and these things go to court they have to make multiple appearances to provide details of the case.
This fact is used by the police to pick up bribes.
The interesting thing is that even hospitals are not above trying to extort people. MLC filings are supposed to be free but hospitals like Apollo etc charge extra 2-5k to admit a MLC case.
