Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) deputy leader Rajesh Shah has been granted bail, while driver Rajrishi Bidawat has been remanded in one-day police custody. When they appeared in court in Sewri on Monday, the court criticised the Worli police for errors in their remand copy. Initially, Shah was charged under Section 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), but the court ruled this section didn’t apply as Shah was not at the crime scene. “Section 105 is not applicable to Shah,” the court said.

The prosecution stated, “We reviewed the CCTV footage, which clearly shows Mihir (the absconding accused) and Bidawat removing the woman from the bonnet, swapping seats, and then Bidawat, while reversing, ran over Kaveri Nakhwa,” said the police in court while seeking custody.
