The Kanpur Lamborghini accident case has captured attention. Allegations focus on Shivam Mishra, son of billionaire tobacco businessman KK Mishra. He was reportedly driving during the mishap. However, both Shivam’s father and lawyer deny this. Meanwhile, the police have registered an FIR and are investigating. Past incidents involving Shivam Mishra are also coming to light.
Lockdown Escapade to Nainital
It is noted that during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, Shivam Mishra drove his luxury car to Nainital from Kanpur. Reports suggest a heated exchange with Nainital police occurred. It is alleged that a woman accompanying him in a black Porsche misbehaved with police officers and even kicked them. The police had ordered the removal of tinted films from the car windows, escalating disputes.
A Thrilling 200 km/h Drive
On social media platform 'X', user Akshay Arya claimed that on February 6, the same Lamborghini was spotted racing over 200 kilometers per hour on the Yamuna Expressway between Delhi and Vrindavan.
Income Tax Raids
In 2024, the Income Tax Department conducted raids on KK Mishra’s ancestral tobacco firm, Banshidhar Tobacco, in Kanpur and Delhi. During the raid, it is reported that Shivam pointed a gun at the officers, later justifying it by claiming he suspected an armed robbery attempt.

During the raid, it was discovered all of Shivam Mishra’s luxury vehicles share the VIP number ‘4018’, considered a status symbol for the family. This number is deemed lucky, and large sums are paid to secure it for every vehicle.
Exorbitant Luxury Car Collection
The investigation revealed that the Mishra family possesses an extensive collection of luxury vehicles worth crores. There are allegations of under-reporting turnovers to conceal substantial business dealings. Experts acknowledge KK Mishra as a key player among North India’s major tobacco traders, influential in market pricing. The Mishra family originally hails from a village in Shivrajpur, Kanpur.
