Mumbai: A woman died after the two-wheeler on which she was travelling with her husband was hit by a BMW car in Mumbai's Worli area in the early hours of Sunday, a police official said.
The man involved in the accident was Chief Minister Eknath Shinde faction's Shiv Sena leader's son Mihir Shah who is absconding. The Mumbai police have taken into custody person Shiv Sena leader Rajesh Shah, the father of the absconding person and one more person who was also present with the accused Mihir Shah.
Speaking about the incident, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said the law was equal for everyone and no would be spared."The law is equal for all and the government sees every case in the same way. There will be no separate rule for this accident. Everything will be done as per the law." "The police will not shield anyone. The Mumbai accident is unfortunate. I have spoken to the police department to take strict action," he added.
In a post on X, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and local MLA Aaditya Thackeray said he would not go into the "political leanings" of Shah but hoped "there will be no political refuge by the regime".
The case comes less than two months after the May 19 Porsche accident case in Pune's Kalyani Nagar area.
Two IT professionals hailing from Madhya Pradesh were killed after the Porsche, allegedly driven by an inebriated minor driver, rammed into their motorcycle.
The case hit national headlines after the boy was given bail by the Juvenile Justice Board on lenient terms and the Pune police uncovered an effort allegedly involving the accused's parents and doctors of Sassoon Hospital to switch blood samples to nullify alcohol tests and also force the family driver take blame for the crash.
