Inappropriate case filed against my Friend

You need to first locate the CCTV camera and then approach the jurisdiction police station along with RTI form asking for footage. Here time you have to mention.  You will get the copy after paying required fees in the station itself.  Based on the findings of the footage further action can be taken.  But before that you can complain to commisioner of police regarding this.

Thank you Sir, 

I will update the same.

How do we get the copy of CCTV footage from the Bangalore Traffic unit

Every citizen has as a right can seek any record with Public Authority as certified copy under RTI Act.  File application and seek information as expeditiously as possible, as the cycle for deletion is one week generally.

RTI Application has to be addressed to State Public Information officer, Traffic Police, Bangalore city clearly mentioning the nearest area or location of such CCTV.  RTI fee of Rs.10/- can be paid by Adhesive court fee stamp.  Before filing RTI Application do search website of the Traffic  Police for RTI rules and regulations.

Also ask your friend to file a complaint to Supdt of Police, if possible through on line grrievancce redressal procedure.

During initial stages, it is always better to remain as observer and not to involve yourself in petty issues, particularly with Police, and to focus on high value and challenging cases, instead of taking petty and biased cases.

Follow the advice of learned members.

Is it suitable to proceed with the case or to compromise on the demand made by the bad cop.

If charge sheet is filed. Be carefull, Sec 353 IPC is non compoundable. Generally cops can't help you in evidence. It is difficult for them to go beyond his statement recorded by I.O. Take help of seniors. Don't waste money. If you are confidednt that no offence was done by your friend, CCTV footage is enough for his acquittal.

During investigation imapartial IO can file final report also on the basis of these footage.
