Kanpur Lamborghini Crash: Was Shivam Mishra Driving or Was it a Driver?
CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts fuel a clash over who was driving the Rs 10 crore Lamborghini in Kanpur as police and a lawyer dispute Shivam Mishra's role.
In Kanpur's Gwaltoli area, a Lamborghini Revuelto worth over Rs 10 crore crashed into an autorickshaw and a parked motorcycle, triggering a high-stakes dispute over who was at the wheel.
Police initially asserted that Shivam Mishra, the businessman's son, was driving and that he was in an inebriated state at the time of the crash.
The Mishra family counters, saying Shivam was not driving and that he had a seizure behind the wheel, which caused the crash, with their lawyers claiming a designated driver was behind the wheel.
A new twist came when the defense presented CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts they say place Shivam Mishra in the driver's seat, while prosecutors have rejected the claim and say the investigation remains open.
Advocate Mrityunjay Kumar said the facts would be presented in court, and police have continued the investigation, noting the car's luxury status and the potential for further evidence, including any vehicle data.
The case has drawn attention to how such incidents are handled in urban centers, highlighting the tension between evidence and defense narratives as investigators seek clarity.
As Kanpur waits for transparent conclusions, the courtroom battle and ongoing investigations are likely to shape perceptions around accountability in luxury-car crashes.
