CCTV footage produced by police in court during the day showed Kaveri Nakhwa being dragged by the car for 1.5 kilometres.Footage showed Mihir Shah and co-accused Rajrishi Bidawat pulling the woman off the bonnet, placing her on the road and then mowing her down again while reversing the luxury vehicle.As per police, Mihir Shah took the car to Kalanagar in Bandra, abandoned the vehicle in the presence of Bidawat, took another car and fled to Borivali in the northern tip of the metropolis.”He went to the residence of his female friend and has been untraceable since. He switched off his mobile phone in the Borivali area. Considering the possibility of him fleeing Maharashtra, police teams have been sent to nearby states, including Gujarat,” the official said.Police have also visited his residence in Palghar but it was locked, the official added.As per the probe so far, Mihir was partying with four friends in a bar in Juhu till the early hours of Sunday, after which he and his driver proceeded towards south Mumbai.The police have also recovered the bar bill of Rs 18,000 and are verifying it, while CCTV footage of the bar is also being examined.”After the accident, Mihir’s father and co-accused Rajesh Shah came to the spot within one-and-a-half hours. He was at the spot at 6:45 am. The hit-and-run incident took place at 5:30 am. Rajesh Shah has been booked for allegedly providing misinformation and destruction of evidence,” the official said.Rajesh Shah and Bidawat were produced in the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (Sewree) SP Bhosale earlier in the day and were remanded in 14-day judicial and one-day police custody, respectively.Rajesh Shah was, however, later granted bail by the court.
