Kanpur found itself at the centre of intense public attention this week after the son of a well known tobacco businessman was arrested in connection with a dramatic Lamborghini crash that left several people injured. The arrest came four days after the incident, adding another layer to a case that had already triggered widespread debate.

The accused, Shivam Mishra, is linked to a prominent business family in the region. According to police, the luxury sports car was involved in a serious collision on VIP Road, one of the city’s busy stretches. Reports suggest the vehicle lost control before crashing into multiple vehicles and pedestrians. At least six people were said to have suffered injuries in the chaos.

Eyewitnesses described moments of panic as the powerful car struck an autorickshaw and a motorcycle before finally stopping. Bystanders rushed to help the injured while authorities were alerted immediately. Police teams soon arrived at the scene, secured the area and began collecting evidence.

In the early stages of the investigation, confusion emerged when another individual reportedly claimed responsibility for driving the vehicle at the time of the crash. However, officials stated that CCTV footage and witness testimonies indicated Shivam Mishra was behind the wheel. After reviewing the available material, authorities proceeded with his arrest.

He was later presented before a court as the investigation continued. The case has attracted considerable attention not only because of the high value sports car involved but also due to the social standing of those connected to it.

Public reactions have been strong. Many residents have voiced concerns about reckless driving and accountability, particularly when luxury vehicles are involved. Some observers say the incident should serve as a reminder that road safety rules apply equally to everyone, regardless of background or influence.

Investigators are continuing to examine technical details related to the vehicle and are also reviewing medical aspects connected to the driver’s claims. Meanwhile, those injured are recovering, and the city waits to see how the legal proceedings unfold.

The crash has sparked conversations about responsibility, privilege and the importance of cautious driving on crowded urban roads.
