Mihir Shah arrest: This is how Mumbai police tracked down BMW hit and run case accused after two days
Mumbai BMW hit and run case: Mihir Shah (24), who managed to evade police since Sunday, was arrested in Virar near Mumbai morning.
Mihir Shah, the fugitive in the Mumbai BMW hit and run case and son of Shiv Sena leader Rajesh Shah, was arrested by police on Tuesday, two days after he allegedly rammed his luxury car into a two-wheeler, killing a woman and injuring her husband. Mihir Shah (24), who managed to evade police since Sunday morning, was arrested in Virar near Mumbai morning.
Mihir Shah's mother and two sisters have been brought to Mumbai from Shahapur in Thane district for questioning. They are being questioned along with 10 others, news agency PTI quoted officials as saying.
Kaveri Nakhwa was dragged for 1.5 km
On the morning of July 7, a BMW driven by Mihir Shah allegedly rammed into a two-wheeler from behind in Worli area in south-central Mumbai. The collision killed Kaveri Nakhwa (45), who was sitting in the pillion seat, while her husband Pradeep Nakhwa survived but sustained injuries.
According to police, Mihir Shah fled the scene of the accident in an autorickshaw, leaving the car and its driver in Kalanagar area. He then reached his girlfriend's apartment in suburban Goregaon. His friend contacted Mihir Shah's sister, who reached Goregaon and took him and his friend to her residence in Borivali, PTI reported.
The Shah family then decided to flee in an Audi to a resort in Shahapur in Thane district. Mihir Shah's mother Meena, sisters Kinjal and Pooja and two friends were also staying at the resort. After learning the identity of one of the friends who was accompanying Mihir Shah, Mumbai Police traced his number. However, he too had switched off his mobile phone, a police officer said.
Late in the evening on July 8, Mihir Shah and his friends left the Shahapur resort and reached Virar.
But how was Mihir Shah arrested?
When his friend switched on his mobile phone for 15 minutes, Mumbai Police were able to quickly locate and intercept the cell tower.
On Mihir's movements before the accident, an official told PTI that he had partied with friends at a bar in Juhu area and then left for south Mumbai with his driver in the early hours. He was seen driving his BMW around 4.30am in Marine Drive area with driver Rajirshi Bidawat sitting next to him. The car collided with a two-wheeler on reaching Worli, resulting in the death of Kaveri Nakwa.
After two days of careful investigation, Mumbai Police managed to track down the friend who made the mistake of switching on his mobile phone for just 15 minutes.
Mihir, 24, who had managed to elude police since the accident on Sunday morning, was finally arrested in Virar, near Mumbai.
The luxury car driven by Mihir allegedly rammed into a two-wheeler from behind in the Worli area of south-central Mumbai on Sunday morning. Kaveri Nakwa (45), who was sitting in the pillion seat, was killed but her husband Pradeep survived despite injuries.
