Mumbai Court Rejects Mihir Shah's Bail in BMW Hit-and-Run
A man named Mihir Shah was denied bail by a Mumbai court.
He's accused of hitting a scooter with his car, killing a woman, Kaveri Nakhwa, in what's called a hit-and-run.
The accident happened last year.
Mihir was caught after hiding for a couple of days.
His lawyer said he has already spent a long time in jail, but the court hasn't started the trial yet.
The court decided to keep him in jail for now, and the full explanation for this decision will come later.
Mihir Shah's bail application was denied by Mumbai Sessions Court in a BMW hit-and-run case.
The hit-and-run resulted in the death of Kaveri Nakhwa in Worli last year.
Shah allegedly drove the car while intoxicated and evaded arrest for two days.
Shah's lawyer argued that he has been in custody for over a year with the trial yet to start.
The court has yet to release the detailed order for denying the bail.
