BMW Hit-And-Run Case: 24-year-old Mihir Shah, the accused of the BMW accident that killed a woman, was arrested on Tuesday.  This comes a day after his father, Rajesh Shah, who was also in the BMW when the accident that killed a woman, was granted bail by the court on Monday on payment of Rs 15,000.

Some media reports earlier claimed that the accused, who was driving the car, was hiding along with his mother and sister. The close relatives of the family were also unreachable with their mobile phones switched off. 

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had assured strict action against the accused.

The incident comes less than two months after the Pune case, in which a Porsche car allegedly driven by a 17-year-old boy under the influence of alcohol rammed into a motorcycle, killing two software engineers in Pune's Kalyani Nagar area early on May 19.
