Maharashtra Government Takes Action in BMW Hit-and-Run Case: Deputy Leader Expelled
Real Estate Mumbai:In a significant step towards ensuring accountability, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena has expelled Rajesh Shah, the deputy leader, from his position. This decision comes on the heels of intense scrutiny and controversy surrounding Shah's son, Mihir Shah, who is implicated in a deadly hit-and-run accident in Mumbai that claimed the life of a 45-year-old woman and injured her husband.

Mihir Shah, 24, was detained on Tuesday at a resort in Mumbai's Virar after evading capture for three days. He is accused of driving a BMW that fatally struck the victims. According to police reports, Mihir admitted to switching places with his driver and driving the vehicle at the time of the accident. He also confessed to fleeing the scene and attempting to alter his appearance by shaving his beard.

Rajesh Shah, a member of the Shinde Sena, was arrested on Sunday for allegedly aiding his son's escape and directing the family driver to take the blame for the incident. He faces accusations of providing false information and tampering with evidence.

Mihir Shah has been charged with culpable homicide and is set to appear in court. The police are expected to seek his custody for further investigation. The incident has ignited widespread public outrage, with CM Eknath Shinde promising stringent action against all involved parties, irrespective of their social standing or political affiliations.

In a related development, Mumbai's civic authorities have taken action against the Juhu bar where Mihir Shah was reportedly partying before the accident, demolishing an illegally constructed portion of the establishment.

The Shinde Sena, which is part of the ruling Mahayuti coalition, is under intense criticism from the Opposition. Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray has demanded that the hit-and-run case be treated as murder and questioned the delay in apprehending Mihir Shah.
