In February, a man named Charles Polevich, 70, from Long Island, New York, killed Miraj, 64, in a hit and run accident in LI. Miraj was crossing the street when Polevich hit him. Initially, Polevich left the scene of the accident and was charged with that and tampering with evidence. Miraj was taken to a local hospital, was in critical condition, and died the next day.
During the fatal incident, Polevich reportedly got out of his white 1992 Volvo station wagon after hitting Miraj, stood over him and asked if he was okay, then jumped back into his vehicle and drove off. NYDN reports afterward, Polevich hid his car in his garage and covered the car with a tarp. The report also says Polevic avoided traffic cameras to prevent his car from being discovered.
