Kanpur Lamborghini crash: Billionaire Shivam Mishra gets bail within hours on Rs 20K personal bond

In a dramatic development in the high-profile Kanpur Lamborghini crash case that left several people critically injured, a local court on Thursday granted bail to Shivam Mishra, the prime accused in the incident, just hours after his arrest, on a personal bond of Rs 20,000.

The case stems from a high-speed crash on VIP Road near Gwaltoli in Kanpur, where a luxury Lamborghini Revuelto allegedly driven by Mishra rammed into pedestrians and other vehicles, injuring multiple people earlier this week.

Blame On Driver

Earlier, Shivam, the 26-year-old son of a prominent tobacco businessman (tobacco baron KK Mishra), tried to escape after claiming that it was his driver who was driving the vehicle during the incident.

However, after public outcry, he was taken into custody by Kanpur police after four days, only to be released within hours.

Released On Mere 20K Bond

The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate’s Court ordered Shivam’s release on a Rs 20,000 personal bond, a decision that came within hours of his arrest. His bail order has now sparked debate online and offline, with many questioning how quickly an influential accused could be released, and whether the investigation has been thorough.

The police had earlier conceded that CCTV footage and eyewitness accounts indicated that the Lamborghini mounted the divider and struck pedestrians.
