After visiting Worli Police Station in Central Mumbai, Aaditya Thackeray wrote on X, "visited the Worli Police Station today and met with senior police officers investigating into the hit and run case that occurred in Worli today. I will not go into the political leanings of Mr Shah, the accused of the hit and run, but I hope the police will act swiftly to catch the accused and bring him to justice."
He further wrote, "Hopefully there will be no political refuge by the regime. MLC Sunil Shinde ji and I also met Mr Nakwa, the husband of the victim and promised him that we will do everything to bring the accused to justice."
The police sources had earlier said that the diver of the vehicle had allegedly fled from the spot following the incident.

The deceased woman has been identified as Kaveri Nakhwa (45), a resident of Worli Koliwada. Worli police are investigating the matter further", the police said, according to the ANI.
"The luxury car belongs to a leader of a political party based in Palghar and his son was sitting in the car with the driver", the police said.
