The crash took place on VIP Road, where the luxury sports car allegedly lost control and rammed into pedestrians. The accident caused injuries and created panic in the busy area, drawing widespread public attention because of the expensive vehicle and the people involved.
Shivam Mishra’s lawyer, Mrityunjay Kumar, told reporters that Mishra was not behind the wheel. He said the car was being driven by Mohan, a designated driver hired by the Mishra family. According to the lawyer, Mohan was responsible for driving the vehicle when the crash occurred.
However, the police have strongly disagreed with this claim. Investigators said CCTV footage from the area, eyewitness accounts and other pieces of evidence clearly show that Shivam Mishra himself was driving the Lamborghini at the time of the accident.
Police officials said they are carefully examining all available evidence, including video recordings and witness statements, to establish the truth. They added that the investigation is still ongoing and that appropriate action will be taken based on the findings.

Further updates are expected as the probe continues.
