Bansal was taken to the nearby Sanjay Gandhi hospital. He was treated and asked to take bed rest for a few days and come back for a check up. He received four stitches on his head and three stitches in one leg. "I was dropped at home by a driver, who claimed to be a worker of the Metro contractor for the Mundka corridor. He assured me that I would get compensation, but after that nobody has come to see me," said Bansal.
"My father had gone to the Sanjay Gandhi hospital with a policeman. They told him that the doctor who had treated me has resigned and the MLC would only be given when a new doctor joins," he added.u00a0
When contacted, a senior police official from Mundka Police station said that Amit Bansal has suffered only minor injuries. "He has given us in writing that he does not want to file a case against the contractor,' added the official from Mundka police station.
However, Amit Bansal claimed that he has not given anything in writing. "They do not want to file the case. They have not even provided me the MLC from the hospital. They are trying to hush up the matter," alleged Amit.
When contacted, a spokesperson from Delhi Metro said that the concerned contractor is regularly visiting the family. "The contractor also took him to the hospital and got him treated. The company is doing all it can. If need be, a compensation would also be paid to him. We will also pay his medical bills," said the spokesperson.
