Kanpur Lamborghini crash: Shivam Mishra granted bail hours after arrest

A court in Kanpur has released Shivam Mishra on a personal bond of 20,000 rupees following his arrest in the high-profile Lamborghini crash case that left six people injured. Despite CCTV footage appearing to show Mishra behind the wheel, the court rejected the police's application for judicial remand, citing a lack of concrete evidence and lapses in the initial investigation. The proceedings revealed that Mishra's family had allegedly attempted to float a 'ghost driver' theory to shield him, and no medical test for alcohol was conducted within the mandatory 24-hour window. While the court directed Mishra to cooperate with the ongoing probe, the police have expressed intentions to file a charge sheet and investigate the filing of false affidavits by the family. The case has sparked significant public outcry over alleged police negligence and the perceived ease with which influential individuals can evade the law through 'money and muscle power'.
