If the police asked defacto complainant to assist him in investigation and if police hire private car to catch the accused no harm in it. Police may use private car for the purpose of investigation.

Using the defacto complainant's vehicle is not illegal.
If the matter needed any urgency, the police can use any available mode of conveyance.
