Hours after a speeding BMW hit a man and his wife in Mumbai's Worli, killing the woman, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray said he did not wish to add any "political colour" to the case even as police sources claimed that the car belonged to a leader of Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena.
Mr Thackeray met the victim's husband at a police station in Mumbai and demanded that the accused driver be arrested. Speaking to NDTV outside the police station, Mr Thackeray said the accused has to be arrested "without any political influence."
