Lamborghini Accident on VIP Road Reignites Public Scrutiny of Kanpur Business Family
A high-speed Lamborghini crash on Kanpur's VIP Road this Sunday afternoon has thrust Shivam Mishra back into the public spotlight. The son of prominent tobacco businessman KK Mishra was involved in the incident that left three individuals injured, prompting an ongoing police investigation into the exact circumstances surrounding the accident.
Family's Flamboyant Lifestyle Under Renewed Examination
The collision has revived intense public scrutiny of the Mishra family's extravagant lifestyle, which has long been characterized by ultra-luxury automobiles, high-profile social gatherings, and previous encounters with Income Tax authorities. Shivam Mishra is particularly well-known within elite social circles for his passionate collection of exotic vehicles.
The family's automotive collection over recent years has included some of the world's most prestigious and expensive marques, with Rolls-Royce, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and McLaren models frequently spotted at their residences in both Delhi and Kanpur. Sources familiar with earlier investigations have revealed that luxury vehicles valued at over Rs 100 crore were once discovered parked at properties connected to the family, highlighting the extraordinary scale of their wealth and indulgence.
Extravagant Parties and Business Background
Beyond their impressive car collection, Shivam Mishra has regularly made headlines for hosting lavish parties that attract considerable attention. His father, KK Mishra, owns Banshidhar Exports Private Limited, a Kanpur-based tobacco firm that supplies raw materials to leading gutkha manufacturers throughout the region.
Previous Income Tax Investigations Resurface
Approximately two years ago, Income Tax teams conducted coordinated raids on the company and its associated premises across multiple states, including Delhi, Gujarat, and Andhra Pradesh. During these operations, officials claimed to have uncovered substantial evidence of:
- Large-scale tax evasion schemes
- Significant amounts of unaccounted cash
- Additional luxury vehicles
- Suspected benami properties
Investigators at the time pointed to alleged discrepancies between the company's declared turnover and its actual business volume, along with suspicions of fabricated transactions and GST evasion. Although the Income Tax department has not released detailed official statements about their findings, the raids firmly placed the Mishra family under governmental scrutiny and transformed their opulent lifestyle into a subject of broader public debate.
From Supercars to Serious Questions
With Sunday's Lamborghini crash adding another controversial chapter to Shivam Mishra's public profile, attention has shifted dramatically from glossy party photographs and social media supercar reels to more serious questions about privilege, accountability, and responsible conduct on public roads.
Police authorities confirm that their investigation into the VIP Road incident remains active and ongoing. Meanwhile, the Mishra name continues to resonate far beyond Kanpur's elite boulevards, symbolizing excess, influence, and the recurring public spotlight that follows both wealth and controversy in equal measure.
