Mihir Shah, the prime suspect in the Mumbai BMW hit-and-run, has been remanded to police custody. Mihir, who is the son of Shiv Sena leader Rajesh Shah, had been absconding since July 7 when he rammed his BMW into a two-wheeler, resulting in the death of 45-year-old Kaveri Nakhwa, who was riding pillion, while her husband Pradeep survived with injuries. Seeking Mihir’s custody, the police on Wednesday told Sewri court in Mumbai that they have to find out how many people helped (the accused) after the incident, and who all helped him to hide for so many days.
