The insurance is not made but it is not their duty. You submit a request to the SP of the Police of your district to take action on the complaint you or someone else made.

If your friend was standing on the road at the time of accident then it is the bus which has to pay the insurance compensation amount.
Police have nothing to do with the accident case.
They will register FIR and prosecute the driver.
They cannot arrange for funds for medical expenses.
Your friend has to manage the expenses and then file a case for compensation before MACT.

You friend brought uninsured vehicle on the road.
This is a matter of traffic fine which your friend will face or else his bike will not be released.
This is the biggest defence that the driver and his employer will raise that complainant vehicle was not insured. So your friends lawyer has to be sharp
But at the same time the driver of bus has no business to locate uninsured vehicle and damage it.
Your friend will in addition to FIR file a case before MACT for claiming the financial loss for treatment/ leave/ vehicle repair / trauma firm driver and his employer.
driver being got employee may be keen for settlement of FIR.
But the driver cannot pay the damages from his pocket and his company will have to pay which they will pay only after order of MACT, being govt organization they will not pay anything without court order be sure about it.
So compromise of FIR should be by caution.

Admittedly, the injured person had been admitted in the hospital. If a real case, FIR ought to have registered in due course, even in the absence of the complaint from the injured person.
The remedies that could be pursued in the MACT are independent of the Police Report. However, a Police Report would be really helpful and supplement the injured person's evidence.
