Police Version: Shivam Mishra Was Driving
According to Kanpur police officials, evidence collected during the investigation indicates that Shivam Mishra was behind the wheel at the time of the accident.
Authorities relied on:
- CCTV footage from the area
- Eyewitness statements

Family’s Claim: The Driver Was Behind the Wheel
The Mishra family denies that Shivam Mishra was driving, claiming a hired driver was behind the wheel and later submitted an affidavit taking responsibility. They claimed Shivam became sick after the accident and needed medical treatment in Delhi.
Police Reject the Driver’s Confession
The police authorities dismissed the driver’s admission because video recordings and witness testimonies created evidence that contradicted his statement. The authorities continue their investigation by examining all available evidence.
The Business Tycoon Angle
The case has gained attention because Shivam Mishra is the son of a prominent tobacco businessman. The connection has created public discussion about potential influence and special treatment during the case proceedings. The police investigation shows that the initial FIR named an unidentified suspect, but they identified Shivam through evidence collected during their inquiries.
Legal Proceedings and What Lies Ahead
The investigation is ongoing, and a charge sheet will be filed soon. The court will decide responsibility after reviewing evidence, including video footage, the driver’s confession, and forensic findings.
