Bombay High Court Junks Worli BMW Hit-And-Run Accused’s Plea For Release

The Bombay High Court on Monday refused to release Mihir Shah, the main accused in a BMW hit-and-run case, on the ground of "illegal" arrest.

Shah, the 24-year-old son of a former Shiv Sena leader, and his driver Rajrishi Bidawat had filed petitions in the HC claiming they have been illegally detained and sought immediate release.

Shah was arrested on July 9, two days after he allegedly rammed his BMW car into a two-wheeler in Mumbai’s Worli area, killing 45-year-old woman Kaveri Nakhwa and leaving her husband Pradeep injured.
