Mihir Shah is the son of Rajesh Shah, a Shiv Sena leader close to the former Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

The Bombay High Court has refused to release Mihir Shah, the main accused in a BMW hit-and-run case, on the grounds of 'illegal' arrest. Shah, the son of a former Shiv Sena leader, and his driver had filed petitions in the HC claiming they have been illegally detained. The court dismissed the petitions, stating that the police had not informed them the grounds of their arrest at the time, which was in violation of the law. Both Shah and his driver are presently in judicial custody.
