Worli BMW hit-and-run case: No traces of alcohol found in the main accused Mihir Shah's blood samples
Police have received the forensic report of the main accused Mihir Shah in the Worli hit-and-run case that took place on July 7.
According to the forensic reports received by police on Friday, Mihir Shah's blood samples have tested negative for alcohol. The report indicates that the main accused, Mihir Shah, was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident.
The Worli police arrested the accused Mihir Shah from Virar Fata approximately 58 hours after the incident. The police stated that by the time of his arrest, about 58 hours after the incident, the alcohol had likely left his body.
After his arrest, Mihir Shah's blood and urine samples were sent for forensic analysis.
However, after his arrest, Mihir underwent a medical examination as per the investigation officers' instructions.
Mihir Shah's blood and urine samples were sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for testing.
The forensic report has come as a major setback for the police. Since the report found no alcohol in Mihir's body, the police have to present this case in court based on circumstantial evidence.
According to the forensic investigation, if Mihir Shah's alcohol report had been positive, it would have made the case easier for the police. However, with the report coming back negative, it presents a significant challenge for them.
Earlier in July this year, Police arrested Rajendra Singh Bidawat and the father of the main accused, Rajesh Shah for their alleged involvement in the Worli hit-and-run case that took place
