What legal rights do we have to retrieve our confiscated car?

Our car was confiscated by the police. It was parked in a parking lot near a wall, and the wall broke due to a firecracker blast in the adjacent room. The wall collapsed and damaged five vehicles, including mine. The falling stones broke the car windshield and caused other damage. The police investigated the matter and asked us to bring the car to the police station for further investigation. After that, we will need to go to court to get our car back. What legal rights do we have to retrieve our car?

You have the right to file a claim for damages against the party responsible for causing the car damage. If the police are holding the car, the investigation must be completed. Once the investigation is done, the car should be returned. You can approach the court if the car is unjustly retained or for compensation if damages were caused due to negligence.
