In a hit-and-run incident early on Sunday, eerily reminiscent of the Pune Porsche incident in May, a 24-year-old man speeding in his luxury car rammed into a scooter at Worli, injuring the driver and dragging the woman pillion rider for nearly 1.5 kilometres, killing her in the process.
The man allegedly driving the car, Mihir Shah, is absconding, and police have detained his father Rajesh Shah and the family driver Rajrishi Bidawat, who was accompanying the accused. Preliminary inquiries have found that Bidawat was in the front passenger seat when the accident occurred.
Mihir's father Rajesh Shah owns a construction business and is a deputy leader in the Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde), Palghar. Mihir, who has completed his SSC, assists his father in the family business.
Around 5.30am, Pradeep and Kaveri Nakhwa, fish sellers from Worli village, were returning home on the two-wheeler after purchasing fish from Sassoon Dock, Colaba.
When their scooter was hit by the car, Kaveri, 45, fell on the road, with her saree getting caught in the car's front wheel, while Pradeep, 50, landed on the car's bonnet. Pradeep told the police that he noticed that Kaveri's saree had become entangled with the car wheel and yelled at Mihir to stop, but the accused paid no heed.
