Shivam Mishra Arrested In Kanpur Lamborghini Car Crash Case

Shivam Mishra, son of tobacco industrialist KK Mishra, was arrested on Thursday in connection with the high-profile Lamborghini crash on VIP Road earlier this week.

Confirming the news to PTI, Commissioner of Police Raghubir stated that that the 35-year-old would be produced in court shortly. "He has been taken into custody and will be presented before the court within an hour," Lal told PTI.

The accident occurred around 3 pm on Sunday, when a Lamborghini Revuelto - a luxury Italian sports car valued at over ₹10 crore - plowed into pedestrians and vehicles in the upscale Gwaltoli area. Among the injured was 18-year-old e-rickshaw driver Mohd Taufeeq, who later filed a complaint. However, defense counsel claimed Taufeeq was reluctant to pursue legal action.

The case took a dramatic twist on Wednesday when a man named Mohan stepped forward, claiming he was the designated driver and had been behind the wheel at the time of the crash. Police dismissed the claim, asserting that evidence gathered during the investigation clearly established Shivam Mishra as the driver responsible for the collision.
