Kanpur tobacco tycoon's son crashes Lamborghini; FIR names 'unknown person'
What's the story
A recent Lamborghini crash in Kanpur has raised eyebrows after an FIR was filed against an "unknown person." However, videos from the scene show a man, later identified as Shivam Mishra, son of tobacco trader AK Mishra, exiting the luxury vehicle. The accident took place on Sunday afternoon near Gwal Toli, when the Lamborghini allegedly lost control and hit pedestrians, injuring six. One of the injured, Mohammad Taufiq, suffered serious leg injuries and is now stable after being hospitalized.
Discrepancy uncovered
Discrepancy raises questions
Police have yet to offer an official comment on the disparity between the FIR and the visuals. Videos that have gone viral also show Shivam with bodyguards at the scene. The footage shows that Shivam was promptly taken away from the scene of the collision before any medical tests could be done.
Medical oversight
Mishra allegedly suffered a minor heart attack
Reportedly, Mishra suffered a minor heart attack after the crash and was rushed to a hospital. This led to no on-site medical examination or preliminary tests being conducted at the scene. DCP Atul Srivastava confirmed an FIR has been registered but did not address the discrepancy between the FIR and visuals. The police are verifying Mishra's medical claim related to the heart attack.
Public outcry
Controversy over treatment of crashed Lamborghini
The treatment of the Lamborghini at the police station has also drawn criticism. Visuals show police personnel covering the luxury car with a sheet inside the premises, allegedly on orders from officers. Private bodyguards were seen standing guard near the vehicle, leading to allegations of preferential treatment. Victims' family members have also claimed that these bodyguards misbehaved with them inside the station but police did not intervene.
