Hi all

Unfortunately couple of months back one Electric transformer blasted and the debris fell on my car, when it was parked in Doha Souq Area, damaging driver side completely.

Capital Police made the report but was not handed over to me, stating it requires enquiry report from Fire Dept.

Now after two and half months still the same answer from Capital Police - awaiting investigation report from Fire Dept.

Insurance requirement states Police report as priority dox.

Where do i go to get this sorted out and get the car back on road after repair? Its a 6months old car.

Appreciate feedback...

Talk to higher authorities. You will not be denied access if taken appointment.

Only they can expedite your issue.

Try asking them if there is a possibility that you could rent a car and they reimburse it or they could get your insurance company to cover the rent.

Sorry to hear that..

I think I would have the same situation if I were you.. trapped in the middle innocently..

Maybe you can try writing an official letter (english & arabic)explaining the delayed respond attaching whatever document available you have from the incident to the related police dept. Just to give a little push..

Last but not least.. keep follow-up...

Best of luck..

Feel sorry for you! Guess the only possible way for you would be to keep communicating with Capitol police about the status of the report. Trying to meet with a higher police official would be a good idea, but, yes, getting access wouldn't be easy.

I, too, have had not so friendly situations with the police. Language was a huge barrier in communication & moreover being dark skin didn't help my cause either.
