Mihir Shah, the prime accused in the Mumbai BMW hit-and-run case and son of a Shiv Sena politician, has admitted to driving the car during the crash that killed a woman and injured her husband, according to officials.

The 24-year-old, currently in police custody until July 16, claimed to possess a driving license, although the police have not yet recovered the document. Investigators have recorded statements from 14 people, including Shah's family and friends, and plan to recreate the crime scene.
