Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde sacked Rajesh Shah as Deputy Leader of the Shiv Sena.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Wednesday removed Rajesh Shah, the father of the Mumbai BMW hit-and-run case accused Mihir Shah, as Deputy Leader of the Shiv Sena.
The Mumbai Police arrested Mihir Shah from Virar on Tuesday, two days after the shocking incident. He had been absconding after the car he was allegedly driving hit a scooter on Dr. Annie Besant Road in Worli on Sunday, July 7. Fourteen teams were formed by Mumbai police to nab him.
The police had also arrested Rajesh Shah and his driver Rajrishi Singh Bidawat, who was allegedly in the BMW at the time of the accident, for their alleged involvement in the case. Rajesh Shah was later granted bail by a court in Mumbai.
Pradeep Nakhwa, the husband of the hit-and-run case victim, has accused the Shiv Sena of inaction because the accused is their leader’s son.
