BMW Hit and Run Case: Mihir Shah, the main accused in the BMW hit-and-run case, has filed a petition in the Bombay High Court claiming that he has been detained illegally. He has demanded immediate release.
Accused Mihir Shah, 24, had hit a two-wheeler with his BMW car in Mumbai’s Worli area on July 7, killing Kaveri Nakhwa (45) and injuring her husband Pradeep. After this incident, accused Mihir was arrested on 9th July.
In his habeas corpus petition filed in the High Court last week, Shah had claimed that his detention was illegal and he should be released immediately. Now the division bench of Justice Bharti Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande can hear his petition on Wednesday.
Mihir Shah is accused of running away fast towards Bandra Worli Sea Link after the accident, while the woman remained on the bonnet of the car and then got entangled in the wheels of the car for a distance of more than 1.5 kilometres.
According to the police, Mihir Shah, who ran away from the scene, was drunk at that time. Shah, his father Rajesh Shah and their driver Rajarshi Bidawat have been arrested in this case. Rajesh Shah is a former leader of Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde.
According to PTI, Rajesh Shah has got bail in this famous case, while Mihir Shah and driver Bidawat are currently in judicial custody.
