Panic and chaos broke out in Kanpur after a luxury sports car rammed into a group of pedestrians, leaving at least six people injured. The incident reportedly involved a Lamborghini allegedly driven by the son of a local businessman, triggering widespread anger among residents.
Eyewitnesses said the car was moving at a very high speed when it suddenly lost control and ploughed into people walking along the roadside. Screams filled the area as bystanders rushed to help the injured, some of whom were bleeding and unable to move properly. Locals immediately informed police and emergency services.
The injured were shifted to nearby hospitals, where doctors confirmed that while no deaths occurred, several victims sustained serious injuries. Hospital sources said a few patients may require extended treatment. Families of the injured were seen demanding strict action, claiming such incidents keep repeating due to influence and money power.
Soon after the accident, crowds gathered at the spot and tensions rose. Some people accused authorities of being lenient towards wealthy individuals involved in road accidents. Videos from the scene quickly spread across social media, adding fuel to public outrage.
Police officials confirmed that the vehicle has been seized and an investigation is underway. They also stated that statements from witnesses are being recorded and CCTV footage is being examined. However, questions remain about whether the accused will face the same legal consequences as an ordinary citizen.
Road safety experts say this incident highlights a growing problem of reckless driving by privileged youth. Expensive cars, they argue, should come with stricter monitoring and harsher penalties for violations. Citizens also demanded better traffic control and speed monitoring in crowded areas.
As emotions remain high in Kanpur, many residents say justice must be transparent and swift. For now, the city waits, hoping accountability will not be overshadowed by influence or status.
