The civic body thoroughly scrutinised the Global Tapas Bar at Juhu, whose bar manager had served hard liquor to Mihir, who is yet to complete 24 years of age, violating Maharashtra’s legal drinking age of 25
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday decided to demolish the illegal structures of the Mumbai bar that served alcohol to Mihir Shah, the son of Shiv Sen leader Rajesh Shah who rammed his BMW into a motorcycle hours later, killing a woman and injuring her husband in Worli three days ago.
The civic body thoroughly scrutinised the Global Tapas Bar at Juhu, whose bar manager had served hard liquor to Mihir, who is yet to complete 24 years of age, violating Maharashtra’s legal drinking age of 25.
Earlier, the state Excise Department sealed the bar in Juhu visited by Mihir and his friends on Saturday night.
The action to seal the bar was taken on the orders of the district collector for violation of rules, the excise department official said.
Preliminary investigations showed that the luxury car driven by Mihir rammed into a two-wheeler from behind in the Worli area on Sunday morning, resulting in the death of Kaveri Nakhwa (45), who was riding pillion, while her husband Pradeep survived with injuries.
Kaveri Nakhwa was dragged for around 1.5 km by the speeding car before Mihir pulled it over, swapped the seat with his driver, and fled in another vehicle, according to police.
