In Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, a severe road accident occurred involving Shivam Mishra, the son of a tobacco businessman, who was behind the wheel of a high-speed Lamborghini worth 12 crores (approximately $1.5 million). The incident resulted in the collision of Mishra’s vehicle with six pedestrians, with one biker being thrown about ten feet away, and his motorcycle getting trapped underneath the car. The shocking nature of the accident sparked outrage among the crowd present, who quickly formed around the car in anger.

Amidst the chaos, Mishra attempted to hide inside the car while his bouncers aggressively tried to disperse the crowd. Eyewitnesses reported that the bouncers physically removed individuals who were trying to confront Mishra, which has raised serious concerns regarding the kind of 'VIP treatment' Mishra received following the incident. The public's anger was compounded by the perception that wealth and connections allowed Mishra to avoid immediate accountability for his actions.

This incident has not only highlighted the dangers of reckless driving among affluent youth but also brought into question the response of local authorities to such incidents. Many have called for stricter measures and consequences for those in positions of privilege who think they can evade justice, pointing to a growing concern over the disparate treatment of regular citizens versus those with wealth and influence in India.
