<p>Mihir's father, Rajesh Shah, had been dismissed by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde from his position as deputy leader of the Shiv Sena's Palghar unit.</p>

<p>The now-former Shiv Sena leader's family members, including his mother and sisters, fled the scene of the Sunday BMW hit-and-run due to fear of being attacked by the mob and subjected to interrogation, said the Mumbai police who are investigating the case, on Wednesday.</p>

<p>According to investigators,&nbsp;Mihir Shah shaved off his beard to hide his identity and avoid getting caught.</p>

<p>According to the Mumbai police, Mihir, who had been on the run after hitting and killing a 45-year-old woman in Worli on Sunday, initially hid at his girlfriend’s house in Goregaon. From there, his elder sister picked him up and dropped him near Thane.</p>

<p>Afterwards, the main accused, his sisters, and his mother stayed in various hotels in Thane, near Nashik, and in Murbad.</p>

<p>Hours before the BMW hit-and-run incident, Mihir Shah was at a bar in Mumbai's Juhu area with some friends, where he is believed to have consumed alcohol.</p>
