Recent incidents involving luxury cars in Maharashtra have highlighted ongoing safety issues. On July 29, a 28-year-old man succumbed to injuries sustained in a hit-and-run accident involving a speeding BMW in Mumbai’s Worli area on July 20. The man was severely injured when his two-wheeler was struck by the luxury vehicle and later died in the hospital.
Earlier, on July 9, another tragic accident occurred on Annie Besant Road in Worli. A speeding BMW, allegedly driven by the son of a recently dismissed Shiv Sena leader, collided with a two-wheeler. This accident resulted in the death of Kaveri Nakhwa and left her husband, Pradip, seriously injured. The accused, Mihir Shah, along with his family driver and father, were arrested for attempting to destroy evidence and other related charges.
