In Mumbai's Worli, Mihir Shah's speeding BMW crashed into a scooter, killing Kaveri Nakhva and severely injuring her husband, Pradip Nakhva, who was returning from Sassoon Dock.
Mihir Shah, son of Shiv Sena leader Rajesh Shah from Palghar, Maharashtra, left school after Class 10 to work in his father's construction business.
In Juhu, Mihir Shah heavily drank and instructed his driver, Rajendra Singh Bijawat, to drive to Worli. Later, Mihir drove himself, resulting in the 5:30 am accident.
After the accident, Mihir Shah removed stickers and the car's number plate, then fled with help, avoiding authorities. Authorities suspect his girlfriend is helping him.
Rajesh Shah and driver Rajendra Singh Bijawat were arrested for obstructing the investigation, while Mihir Shah faces charges of reckless driving and negligence causing death.
The incident sparked public outrage due to Mihir Shah's connections, leading to widespread media coverage and debates on accountability and justice.
