In a recent development in the Worli hit-and-run case, a court in Mumbai granted provisional bail to Shiv Sena leader Rajesh Shah, the father of the absconding accused Mihir Shah. Rajesh Shah’s son, Mihir Shah, allegedly drove a speeding BMW that collided with a two-wheeler in Worli, resulting in the death of a 45-year-old woman and injuries to her husband. The court ordered Rajesh Shah to pay Rs 15,000 for bail. Earlier in the day, Rajesh was remanded to 14-day judicial custody alongside the family’s driver Rajrishi Rajendra Singh Bidawat. This case has sparked outrage and concern across Maharashtra, prompting Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to promise strict action against those responsible for hit-and-run incidents. The incident has raised questions about the misuse of power by influential individuals and the need for justice for the victims. The police have launched a manhunt for Mihir Shah after issuing a lookout circular to prevent him from leaving the country. Multiple charges, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, have been filed against all three individuals involved in the tragic incident. The investigation has revealed that Mihir Shah may have been intoxicated at the time of the accident, having been seen at a bar in Juhu a few hours prior. The police are examining CCTV footage from the bar and gathering evidence to support the case. The Mumbai Police are working diligently to apprehend Mihir Shah and ensure that justice is served in this heartbreaking hit-and-run case.
