Dear Sir,
Lacation - Maharashtra
History - I have sold my 2 wheeler to one of my known person. I have received 75% amount of mutually agreed amount. It is agreed that i will get balance payment within 1 month & i will transfer the vehicle to buying person's name. The Buyer requested to take the vehicle to his native place, as he is known person i agreed for that. But i have not received the payment as per agreed schedule & also i have not asked for that to buying person.
After 3 months of the deal there was an accident of that 2 wheeler & the son of the person to whom i sold the vehicle was dead. Came to know that at the time of accident the person who is riding is dunked. Vehicle is on my name & at the time of accident no insurance is available. The vehicle is in police custody & till today i have not received any call / notice.
Question is how to came out from this situation & how i get the vehicle back from police station.

you forget about the vehicle and balance price now.
If you are keen in having trouble then take vehicle on superdari with liability of not repairing it, keeping in safe custody, not selling it and producing to court when required (may be on each date it can be after 2-3 months or 2-3 times a months at what ever place the trial goes no.
You should be happy if you are not fleeced for the compensation to the person who died + you do not face criminal charge of letting a drunkard person to drive.

You can be in trouble, yo have to pay compensation if the sale agreement was not properly drafted.
