Pradeep Liladhar Nakhwa, the husband of the deceased in the BMW hit-and-run case Kaveri Nakhwa, claimed on Tuesday that accused 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.
“I asked him to stop, yet he didn’t stop; he ran away. She (the deceased) must have been in so much pain. Everyone knows this but no one is doing anything. There is no one for the poor,” Pradeep said.

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.
The arrest comes a day after the accused’s father, Shiv Sena leader Rajesh Shah was granted bail in the case. Rajesh Shah, who owns the car involved in the crash, and Rajrishi Bidawat, their family driver who was in the vehicle at the time of the accident, were arrested on Sunday for allegedly helping Mihir escape after the crash.
