A prominent bar in Mumbai, where Mihir Shah, the son of a Shiv Sena leader, was seen partying before a tragic accident, has been sealed by the excise department today over alleged violations. Juhu’s Vice Global Tapas Bar came under scrutiny after it was revealed that Shah had been drinking there with friends just hours before the incident.
According to sources, the bar was sealed following the discovery of multiple violations of excise department rules. The action was taken after an investigation highlighted discrepancies and non-compliance with regulatory standards. The excise department, which oversees the regulation and licensing of alcohol-serving establishments, acted swiftly in response to the findings.
The incident that brought Vice Global Tapas Bar into the spotlight occurred late Saturday night. Mihir Shah, 24, had been socializing at the bar with his friends when he allegedly consumed a significant amount of alcohol. A liquor bill that emerged yesterday confirmed that Shah had been drinking at the bar until late in the night.
Following his time at the bar, Shah’s driver picked him up in a BMW. Tragically, later that night, the car was involved in a fatal accident that resulted in the death of a woman and serious injuries to her husband. The police are currently investigating the circumstances of the accident, including whether Shah was behind the wheel or if his driver was responsible.
The sealing of Vice Global Tapas Bar is part of a broader effort by the authorities to enforce strict adherence to excise regulations, especially in light of the high-profile nature of the case. The bar’s closure underscores the seriousness with which the excise department is treating violations and serves as a warning to other establishments about the consequences of non-compliance.
As the investigation continues, there is growing public interest in the case due to Shah’s political connections. The involvement of a Shiv Sena leader’s son has added a layer of complexity and scrutiny to the proceedings. The authorities are under pressure to ensure a thorough and impartial investigation to uphold the law and deliver justice to the victims of the accident.
This tragic incident has also sparked a wider debate on the responsibilities of establishments that serve alcohol and the need for stricter enforcement of regulations to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
