The District and Sessions Court in Bhopal awarded a sum of Rs 75.26 lakh in compensation to the family of Syed Mohammad Sajid, a bank officer who tragically lost his life in a road accident. The compensation also includes an annual interest rate of 6%. The deceased, who lived in Green Park Colony, Arif Nagar, on Bairasia Road, was returning home from Salamatpur on his motorcycle when he was struck from behind by a mini-truck near Chopra Kalan village on the Bhopal-Vidisha road.
The accident occurred on April 5, 2025, and the victim succumbed to his injuries immediately. The insurance company contested the claim, arguing that the driver of the mini-truck had an invalid driving license and that the vehicle had been wrongfully implicated in the case to secure compensation. They also claimed that the accident was caused due to the deceased's negligence. The insurance company filed the claim with a seven-day delay.
