Mihir dropped out of school after the 10th grade and helped his father in the construction and real estate business in Maharashtra. On the fateful night, he was driving the BMW with Rajarshi Bidawar when the accident occurred. Following the incident, the police found the abandoned car in Kalanagar, Bandra East. Mihir fled the scene in an auto-rickshaw, leaving behind a trail of clues that have led the police to his girlfriend's house, where he allegedly took shelter before disappearing.
The police are investigating whether Mihir was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident, as he had visited a pub with friends a few hours prior to the accident. The pub owner claimed that Mihir only consumed Red Bull, but the police are not ruling out the possibility of him being intoxicated.
Mihir faces charges under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including culpable homicide not amounting to murder, negligent driving endangering human life, causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety, and mischief causing damage or injury.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has assured that the law will be upheld, and no one will be exempt from facing the consequences of their actions. The government will treat every case equally, without any special favors. The police have been instructed to take strict action against Mihir and his accomplices.
The accident has sent shockwaves across the city, prompting calls for stricter traffic regulations and increased surveillance to prevent such incidents in the future.
