Today was an
unlucky day ! After passing MIRZAPUR about
60 km. , our campervan was slightly hit at the rear by
a truck, causing the bumper to
fall out.
Actually, we saw the truck running against our direction on this
narrow road in the distance. So we stopped to the side waiting. When the truck was approaching nearer, we saw another truck following with trailers
occupying the whole road and the driver did not keep
to the side. So we were hit loudly at the rear bumper but the truck driver
did not stop and drove away like nothing happened.

Tilo rushed down to see and noted down the registration number of the truck. Then we turned back and followed the truck until we caught up with the truck and called the driver to stop to talk. But he did not accept that it was his fault or make any concession for indemnity. On the contrary, he seemed arrogant so we followed him indefinitely. Finally we asked someone on the way for the police station, about 30 km. before MIRZAPUR , and therefore reported the case to the police.
The police called the truck driver to stop and investigated until he finally agreed
to pay for repairs. It was probably because Tilo had taken photos
of the accident as evidence that made
the driver to admit his fault to the police.
The police led us with the truck driver to the garage in MIRZAPUR to have everything fixed and paid by the driver. It took us quite some time to wait till
the work finished which was almost in
the twilight. We drove back with the police to the police station in LALGANJ, where we asked him to park for overnight.
