Mumbai Court Denies Plea for Return of BMW in 'Weapon' Hit-and-Run Case

A Mumbai court denied a plea for the return of a BMW car used in a fatal 2024 hit-and-run. The vehicle, driven by Rajesh Shah's son Mihir, is considered a 'weapon' and could be misused. The court highlighted risks to evidence and concerns over potential misuse support the decision.

A Mumbai court on Friday refused a request for the return of a BMW involved in a 2024 hit-and-run incident, citing the luxury vehicle's potential misuse as a 'weapon.'

Former Shiv Sena leader Rajesh Shah's son, Mihir, is accused of driving the car that fatally struck a woman.

The court upheld concerns about evidence preservation and public safety, overriding the defense's argument for the vehicle's release for personal use.
