Bombay High Court rejects BMW hit-and-run accused's plea alleging illegal arrest
India TodayThe Bombay High Court on Monday dismissed two petitions filed by Mihir Shah and his driver Rajrishi Bidawat, the two accused in the case of a hit-and-run involving a BMW in Worli, which had resulted in the death of a woman on July 7. The bench of Justices Bharti Dangre and Manjusha Deshpande dismissed the petitions filed by Mihir Shah and his driver Rajrishi Bidawat. Mihir Shah, 24, rammed his BMW into a scooter on July 7, dragging a woman, Kaveri Nakhwa, for nearly two kilometres, killing her. The two accused had moved the high court on the grounds that the police had failed to provide written grounds for arrest, as required by Section 50 of the Criminal Procedure Code, and that their fundamental rights to personal liberty were violated due to illegal detention.
