Mihir Shah, the main accused in the fatal BMW hit-and-run case in Mumbai, has filed a habeas corpus petition in the Bombay High Court seeking immediate release, claiming his detention is illegal. Shah was arrested on July 9 for allegedly causing the death of Kaveri Nakhwa and injuring her husband Pradeep in a collision with their two-wheeler. The case has taken a new turn with the revelation that Shah’s blood alcohol test came back negative, contradicting earlier police claims.
China has implemented new rules allowing its Coast Guard to detain foreigners for 60 days without trial in disputed areas of the South China Sea. This move escalates tensions between China and Southeast Asian nations, including the Philippines, which has increased patrolling in the region. The detention rules target foreigners suspected of violating border entry and exit regulations. Meanwhile, the G7 has condemned China’s actions in the South China Sea, calling them ‘dangerous’ and ‘illegal’.
