In Kanpur, India, a major administrative action was taken following a road accident involving a Lamborghini car on February 8, 2026. The city police commissioner suspended the officer in charge of the Gwaltoli police station after initial investigations indicated negligence in handling the incident. The accident occurred near Rev-3 Mall, where the luxury car veered out of control and collided with bystanders and several vehicles, causing injuries and panic in the area.

Eyewitnesses revealed that the car was driven by Shivam Mishra, the son of businessman K.K. Mishra. In the aftermath of the accident, allegations emerged regarding the police providing 'VIP treatment' to the accused. Videos circulating online depicted police covering the Lamborghini while bouncers, allegedly associated with the driver, were seen overseeing the scene and intimidating the victims' families. These disturbing events raised concerns over the police’s conduct and favoritism toward affluent individuals.

DCP Atul Srivastava from Central Kanpur confirmed that a formal complaint had been filed, prompting further investigations into the incident. The repercussions of this incident highlight broader issues of accountability within the police force and the perception of inequality in the justice process, especially in cases involving wealthy individuals. The community is calling for a more transparent and just handling of such cases to restore trust in law enforcement.
