Mihir Was Drunk, Dragged My Wife, Did Not Stop BMW Even After I Shouted: Worli Hit-and-run Victim’s Husband – News18

Pradeep Liladhar Nakhwa, the husband of the deceased in the BMW hit-and-run case Kaveri Nakhwa, claimed on Tuesday that Mihir Shah was drunk at the time of the incident. Pradeep also claimed that his wife Kaveri was “intentionally” dragged and despite repeatedly shouting at Mihir to stop the car, he did not.

Shiv Sena leader Rajesh Shah’s son, 24-year-old Mihir Shah was allegedly driving the BMW car which fatally knocked down Kaveri Nakhwa and injured her husband Pradeep while the couple was on their two-wheeler in Mumbai’s Worli area on Sunday morning.

In a conversation with CNN-News18, Pradeep said, “Mihir did not reverse the car. I kept shouting to stop the car but he did not listen to me,” Pradeep said, adding that the accused was under the influence of alcohol at the time.

Mihir Shah was arrested earlier in the day, after being absconding for 72 hours since the accident. He was arrested from Shahpur in Thane and will be brought to the Worli police station. Police also arrested 12 other people in the case.
