Filing case for Murder Attempt

5 years ago

Hello sir,
My father was a victim of murder attack about 3 months ago.
The accused was a BJP leader of taluk and our neighbor. He used his car to ran over my father.
My father escaped with a slightest hit and fall on the roadside. The roadside is having a drainage and bushes so the accused couldn't drive the car any further. He has drunk. He got down the car and screamed at my father that he would kill him and caught on the collar. The taluk councilor was with my father as they were both pedestrian. On hearing this the locals gathered there. One was an ex-military, he saw the car parked extraordinarily beside the road asked the man.
Later they got into the fight.

Due to BJP pressure, we couldn't file the case. The mediators told that we can come to a compromise.
But after few months he is creating more problems.

I want to know whether is it possible to file a case. Is FIR possible?
If I proceed further, it is possible for them to stop the investigation. If i move with it,
I need a strong basis. Your valuable suggestion is greatly appreciated.
