Mumbai Hit-and-Run: Mihir Shah's Father Arrested, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde Vows Justice

On July 7, a tragic hit-and-run incident occurred in Mumbai, resulting in the death of Kaveri Nakhwa and injuries to her husband. The accident happened when a BMW car, allegedly driven by Mihir Shah, hit their scooter near Atria Mall in Worli.

Following the incident, Mihir Shah went missing, and his father, Rajesh Shah, was arrested for not cooperating with the police. The Mumbai Police have formed 14 teams to locate Mihir and have issued a lookout notice for him.

Before the accident, Mihir had visited a pub in Juhu with friends. Statements from three friends who were with him have been taken by the police.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde expressed concern over the rise in hit-and-run cases and vowed that no one, regardless of their status, would be spared. He emphasized his zero-tolerance policy for injustice and directed the police to take strict action.

The car involved in the incident belonged to a political leader from Palghar. This incident follows a similar case in Pune, where a Porsche driven by a 17-year-old under the influence of alcohol resulted in the deaths of two software engineers.
