'They treat us like garbage': Mumbai hit-and-run victim’s husband criticises Maharashtra govt, questions arrest timing

The arrest of Mihir Shah, son of a prominent political leader in Maharashtra's Palghar district, has brought attention to a tragic hit-and-run incident resulting in the death of Kaveri Nakhwa. Returning from Sassoon Dock, Kaveri and her husband Pradeep Nakhwa were struck by Shah's BMW. Despite Shah's subsequent arrest, Pradeep Nakhwa expressed anguish over delays and the challenges ahead, lamenting their financial inability to fight a prolonged legal battle against a politically connected individual. Maharashtra's Chief Minister Eknath Shinde vowed justice without favoritism, yet concerns persist over the fairness of the judicial process and access to justice for ordinary citizens.
