A speeding BMW car driven by Mihir Shah, son of Shiv Sena's deputy leader Rajesh Shah, rammed into a couple on a two-wheeler in Mumbai's Worli, killing the woman. The woman killed, Kaveri Nakhwa, was the niece of Marathi actor Jaywant Wadkar. Wadkar demands the harshest punishment for the accused and expresses doubt that Mihir Shah has fled abroad. The incident occurred on July 9, 2024, at 5:30 am in front of the Landmark Jeep Showroom on Annie Besant Road. After the accident, Mihir Shah drove with Kaveri on the bonnet for two kilometers to the Worli Seaface before stopping the car and fleeing. Wadkar calls for public shaming of such people and an end to arrogance and misuse of money. The Nakhwa couple were fish sellers and were returning from the wholesale market at Crawford Market when the accident occurred.
