- The FIR was initially filed against an unidentified driver under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita provisions, no arrests have been announced, and the damaged car remains in police custody.
- Kanpur’s police commissioner stated Mishra was driving and was pulled from the car by his bouncers, while Mishra’s lawyer claimed a driver named Mohan was at the wheel and termed it an accident case.
- The family reported Mishra suffers seizures, eyewitnesses alleged intoxication and an attempt to flee, and police said these claims will be tested through medical examinations and video review.
