After the accident, Shivam Mishra's bouncers pulled him out of the car. It is being said that he has some medical issues.

Providing further details, he added, "Shivam Mishra is in the hospital. Our police team has reached his residence for further investigation. An FIR of the accident has been registered. One person was injured. He has been treated in the hospital."

Police Vow Strict Action

Commissioner Lal further stated that action would be taken against the accused, as the law applies equally to all, whether it concerns a luxury car or a smaller car. "Law is equal for everyone, whether it is a Lamborghini or a smaller car. Actions will be taken against Shivam Mishra, who was driving the car," he said.

Political Reaction and Assurances

BJP MP from Kanpur, Ramesh Awasthi, confirmed, "Six people have been injured and one of them has been admitted to the hospital. Previously, FIR was registered against an unknown driver, but now Shivam Mishra has been named, against whom the FIR has been registered. The police are taking appropriate action." He further said, "The accused is the son of a businessman. FIR has been registered and strict action will be taken against him. We are not protecting anyone. The accused has been named and he will be sent to jail. The Samajwadi Party are making rhetoric just for the sake of elections, which they will lose, just like in Bihar."
