Kanpur Lamborghini crash | New video shows tobacco baron's son Shivam Mishra behind luxury car's wheel

Lucknow: A new video has surfaced in the Lamborghini crash in Kanpur that left six people injured and several vehicles damaged, purportedly showing Shivam Mishra, son of a tobacco baron, disputing the family lawyer’s claim that the vehicle was being driven by his driver.

The new video has come to light amid Kanpur police’s alleged 'VIP treatment' to Shivam and not mentioning his name in the initial FIR and allowing his security personnel inside the police station. An SHO was suspended after the ‘VIP treatment’ reports.

A senior police official said in Kanpur on Tuesday that it was Shivam Mishra, who was driving the vehicle when it ploughed into a group of people leaving six injured, some seriously, in Gwaltoli area in the town on Sunday.

The new video purportedly showed Shivam’s security guards, who were behind him in another vehicle, running toward the Lamborghini, breaking its side window and pulling him out of the vehicle.

While the eyewitnesses claimed that Shivam was driving the vehicle, his lawyer claimed that it was being driven by his driver. The lawyer also claimed that Shivam had ‘medical issues’.

‘’It’s a case of accident…..No case is made out against Shivam as he was not driving the vehicle,’’ the lawyer told reporters in Kanpur.

Police officials said that the police were investigating all the videos and also the statements of the eyewitnesses. ‘’We will ensure stern action against whosoever is guilty,’’ a senior police official said.

Police were also investigating if Shivam was in an inebriated state while driving the vehicle. Raids were conducted at different places to nab him but he could not be found.
