Megha Rawal, charged in the Bandra hit-and-run, has been remanded to a one‑day judicial custody after her police custody concluded.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Court has ordered that Megha Rawal, the primary accused in the Bandra hit-and-run case, be placed in judicial custody for one day following the expiry of her police custody. The decision was taken after the court reviewed the prosecution’s request to extend her detention for further interrogation.
The incident, which occurred on a busy Bandra road, involved a vehicle striking pedestrians and fleeing the scene. Rawal has been identified as the driver, and the investigation by Mumbai Police remains ongoing, with forensic and eyewitness evidence being examined.
Judicial custody will allow investigators to question Rawal without the procedural constraints of police custody. She is expected to appear before the court again after the one‑day period, where further bail or custody decisions will be considered.
The case has drawn public attention due to the severity of the alleged offense and the high‑profile nature of the accused. Authorities have reiterated that the investigation will proceed in accordance with the law, and no additional details have been released at this stage.
