The Commission also imposed a fine of 20,000 on the insurance company over deficiency in service.
The insurance firm had earlier cited the autopsy report, which indicated the presence of ethyl alcohol in the deceased person's body, and claimed that the deceased was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident and rejected the insurance claim.
However, the Commission refuted the charges, stating that the cause of death was due to asphyxiation.
