Maharashtra Hit-and-Run Case: Bar License Suspended for Serving Alcohol beyond Permitted Hours
Real Estate Maharashtra:The Maharashtra excise department has taken strict action against Sai Prasad Bar in Malad, suspending its license for serving alcohol to 23-year-old Mihir Shah, the main suspect in the Worli hit-and-run incident, beyond the permitted time. According to state regulations, licensed establishments are only allowed to sell alcohol between 10 am and 1 30 am. However, Sai Prasad Bar served four cans of Budweiser Magnum to Shah and his driver, Rajrishi Bidawat, around 4 am, violating these regulations.

The excise department officer, Vijay Suryawanshi, confirmed the suspension of the bar's license, stating that Sai Prasad Bar can challenge the suspension before the suburban collector or the state excise chief. This action follows a similar suspension of Vice-Global Tapas Bar, which was also found to be serving hard drinks to Shah, who is below the legal drinking age of 25, and had alleged illegal constructions.

The hit-and-run incident, which occurred in Worli, involved Mihir Shah crashing his BMW into a scooter, driven by Pradeep Nakhwa, 50, with his wife Kaveri, 45, resulting in minor injuries to the rider. However, Kaveri was dragged for nearly 2.5 kilometres and was subsequently run over again by Bidawat while reversing the car.

Shah initially denied consuming alcohol, but eventually acknowledged consuming a significant amount before the crash. The police have filed charges against him under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, for several offences, including reckless or careless driving, endangering life, causing evidence to disappear, culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and relevant Motor Vehicles Act sections.

The court also granted release to Shah's father, Rajesh Shah, a prominent member of the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde, who was also taken into custody. As his police custody ends, Mihir Shah is expected to appear in court on Tuesday, July 16.

information The Maharashtra excise department is responsible for regulating the sale and consumption of alcohol in the state. The department has been cracking down on establishments that violate state regulations, particularly those that serve alcohol to minors or operate beyond permitted hours.
