While returning home, Shah took control of the car at Marine Drive. Driving at high speed, his BMW collided with a scooter and dragged Kaveri Nakhwa for over 2 kilometers, from C.G. House to Sea Face, despite her husband, Pradeep Nakhwa, shouting for him to stop.
On the same day, Worli Police first arrested father Rajesh Shah and driver Bidawat and conducted a joint search operation with the crime branch and arrested Shah after 72 hours of the incident from Virar Phata.
Police also recovered the CCTV footage of the Bar where Shah was consuming hard liquor with his friend illegally.
Action Taken Against Global Tapas Bar
Following the event, the state excise department took immediate action by seizing the Global Tapas bar, suspending the license, and seizing the Sai Prasad bar and kitchen for violating regulations.
According to the police, Mihir Shah first time went to Global Tapas Bar with his three friends. A 28-year-old Dhruv Dedia, a regular visitor only submitted his identity proof Adhar card in the bar and orally informed the wrong age of Mihir so he could drink whiskey in the bar.
Deceased husband Pradeep Nakhva, is demanding justice and urging a speedy trial in this case.
