The prime accused in the Worli BMW hit-and-run case, Mihir Shah, changed his appearance by trimming his long hair and shaving off his beard to evade arrest for two days. Shah was arrested on Tuesday from Virar. On Wednesday, he was presented in court, where the police requested his remand to determine where he got his hair cut and who assisted in changing his appearance. The police informed the court that the BMW`s number plate was missing, and they needed Shah’s remand to locate the missing plates. Shah was produced before the Sewri Metropolitan Court, which granted police custody until July 16.
Public Prosecutor Ravindra Patil described the crime as heinous and sought the maximum police custody for Shah. In contrast, defence lawyer Ayush Pabola argued that custody was unnecessary, asserting that 95 per cent of the investigation was complete. “We have sent the accused’s blood samples to JJ hospital. He changed his appearance after the crime occurred. We need police custody to recover the missing number plate and the accused’s phone,” the police said in court.
