The police had formed multiple teams to catch Mihir Shah, who was eventually tracked down to an apartment in Virar, which is around 65 km from Mumbai.
Mihir Shah - the main accused in the Mumbai BMW hit-and-run case - has admitted that he was driving the luxury vehicle when the accident took place, but claimed he wasn't drunk, police sources have said.
Mihir Shah - during the police interrogation - told the officials that he had exchanged the seats with his driver Rajrishi Bidawat before it rammed into a two-wheeler at 5.30 am on Sunday.
The 24-year-old- the son of politician Rajesh Shah, a member of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena faction - was arrested last evening. A total of 12 people, including Mr Shah's mother and two sisters, were taken into custody.
