India Today
Speaking to reporters, Kanpur tobacco baron KK Mishra said the Lamborghini was being driven by a man identified as Mohan, while his son Shivam was seated inside the vehicle.
Kanpur tobacco tycoon KK Mishra has denied that his son Shivam was driving the Lamborghini involved in a crash, claiming the vehicle was being driven by a hired chauffeur when it malfunctioned and caused the accident that injured a pedestrian and damaged other vehicles.
Speaking to reporters, the tobacco baron said the car was being driven by a man identified as Mohan, while Shivam was seated inside the vehicle.
According to senior Mishra, his son suddenly felt dizzy during the drive, prompting one of the bouncers accompanying them to break open the driver-side door and pull him out.
“My son’s condition deteriorated rapidly. He was unconscious by the time he reached home. We immediately sent him to Delhi, where he is currently undergoing treatment under medical supervision,” KK Mishra said.
Describing the past few days as overwhelming, he added, “I was troubled from two sides. On one hand, the police were harassing us; on the other, my son was seriously unwell, and the car was badly damaged. He had gone out only to check the vehicle along with the driver. The driver was driving the car.”
KK Mishra maintained that his family had committed no wrongdoing and said they would cooperate fully with the investigation.
