Mumbai BMW Crash: Mihir Shah Sent To Judicial Custody Until July 30

According to the police probe, Mihir Shah allegedly sped off towards the Bandra Worli Sea Link even as the woman remained on the bonnet of the car and then got entangled in its wheels for a distance of more than 1.5 kilometers.

Mihir Shah, the main accused in the Worli BMW hit-and-run case, was sent to judicial custody by a Mumbai court until July 30. The 24-year-old son of a Shiv Sena politician was arrested for allegedly ramming his BMW into a two-wheeler, resulting in the death of 45-year-old Kaveri Nakhwa. Her husband, Pradip Nakhwa, was injured in the incident, which occurred at 5:30 am on Worli’s arterial Annie Besant Road.

According to the police investigation, Mihir Shah allegedly sped off towards the Bandra-Worli Sea Link while Kaveri Nakhwa remained on the bonnet of the car. She eventually got entangled in its wheels and was dragged for more than 1.5 kilometers.

A Mumbai Police official claimed that Shah was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the collision. To gather more information about the chain of events, a Mumbai Police team recreated the accident scene. They also confronted Mihir Shah with his family driver and co-accused, Rajrishi Bidawat, who was in the car during the accident. The police alleged that Bidawat swapped seats with Mihir on the instruction of Shiv Sena politician Rajesh Shah.
