Tobacco Baron's Son Crashes Lamborghini Into Pedestrians in Kanpur; Six Injured

A high-speed accident involving a Lamborghini created panic in Kanpur's upscale Gwaltoli area late Saturday night, leaving six people injured and prompting a detailed police investigation. The incident occurred on a busy VIP road when the speeding vehicle driven by a tobacco baron's son rammed into pedestrians and multiple two-wheelers.
All injured victims have been rushed to nearby hospitals, with officials confirming none are in life-threatening condition despite some suffering serious injuries.
According to police officials, the black Lamborghini Revuelto was being driven at excessive speed when the driver lost control. The luxury car struck people and vehicles on the road before coming to an automatic halt at the spot, preventing the driver from fleeing.
Initial reports confirmed around three injuries, but later information revealed at least six individuals sustained injuries in the crash.
Police identified the driver as the son of a prominent tobacco businessman. He was detained for questioning, with officials indicating he was allegedly under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.
Medical tests are being conducted to confirm the allegation. A case has been registered based on a complaint filed by one of the injured victims.
Local residents described scenes of chaos in the moments before and after the crash.
"There was a loud noise, and people started shouting. The car was moving very fast and weaving dangerously through the traffic," said a witness.
A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, showing the Lamborghini surrounded by police personnel and onlookers. The footage reportedly also shows bodyguards of the businessman's son following him in another vehicle at the time of the accident.
Police reached the scene promptly, secured the area, and seized the vehicle. Traffic was temporarily disrupted as authorities carried out rescue and investigation work.
