New Delhi, Oct 4 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Worli police have filed a charge sheet in the BMW hit-and-run case involving Mihir Shah (25), son of Shiv Sena leader Rajesh Shah and also located the key eyewitness whose statement will be recorded soon.
The incident involved the tragic death of Kaveri Nakhwa a 45-year-old woman. A key eyewitness, a taxi driver, has been located by the police, and his statement will soon be recorded before a Metropolitan Magistrate. So far, the testimony of 38 witnesses has been recorded in connection with the case.
The 716-page charge sheet submitted by the Worli police on Friday names Mihir Shah, Rajesh Shah and their driver, Rajrishi Bidawat, who was in the car when the incident took place, as the accused.
The charge sheet also includes the circumstantial evidence suggesting that the main accused, Mihir Shah, was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.
However, the medical report returned negative. The police said that was because he was arrested two days after the incident.
The police have added Section 185 of the Motor Vehicle Act, which penalises drunk driving against Mihir Shah in the case, based on circumstantial evidence.
The police said they have added charges of drunk driving against Mihir Shah, who was allegedly at the wheel when the BMW rammed into a two-wheeler, killing Kaveri Nakhawa and injuring her husband Pradeep Nakhawa, who was riding the scooter.
The police have also cancelled the driving licences of Mihir Shah and Rajrishi Bidawat, who were involved in the accident.
Mihir Shah's father, Rajesh Shah, has been granted bail and is currently out on bail. However, Mihir Shah and Rajrishi Bidawat remain in judicial custody.
The incident occurred on July 7, when Mihir Shah's BMW struck Pradeep and Kaveri Nakhwa near Atria Mall in Worli. While Pradeep sustained minor injuries, Kaveri was dragged for nearly 3 kms and was killed as Bidawat, Mihir's driver, failed to stop the car after the collision.
