On Sunday, a luxury Lamborghini car crashed into two workers in Noida, leaving them seriously injured. The incident took place in Sector 94 when a man named Deepak was test-driving the vehicle, police said. The car, which did not belong to him, hit the workers sitting on the pavement at high speed.

After the accident, people gathered around and confronted Deepak, asking him to step out and see what had happened. A local man angrily asked, "Why are you showing off your stunt skills? People have died, do you have any idea?" To this, Deepak, appearing shocked, replied, "Koi mar gaya hai idhar?" (Has someone been killed here?)

Another bystander responded, "What else? Just look there. Somebody please call the police."

The police arrived shortly after being informed by the locals. The injured workers were immediately taken to a nearby hospital. They suffered fractures in their legs but are now out of danger, said Noida ADCP Sumit Shukla.

Deepak, who was detained, told the police that he was looking at an error message on the car’s screen while driving when the accident occurred. The police have seized the vehicle and registered a case against him.

Investigations showed that the car was owned by Mridul Tiwari, a well-known YouTuber from Noida. Mridul, who has over 18 million subscribers on his YouTube channel ‘The MriDul,’ was selling the car. Deepak, who is a car dealer, had come to test drive it before purchasing.

One of the injured workers claimed that the Lamborghini was moving at an extremely high speed, around 300 kmph, before it hit them. "A car was coming at a speed of 300 kmph. All three of us fell into the drain after getting hit by the car," the worker said. 

However, the police have not yet confirmed the speed at which the car traveled.

Who is Mridul Tiwari?

Mridul Tiwari is a 24-year-old social media influencer from Etawah, Uttar Pradesh. He became famous for making comedy videos on YouTube. His channel, ‘The MriDul,’ started in 2018 and gained massive popularity, reaching one million subscribers by 2020.

Apart from YouTube, he has a large following on Instagram, with over 4 million followers. In 2023, Mridul purchased the Lamborghini Huracan, which he once described as the "World's 1st Lamborghini with Jai Shree Ram" in an Instagram post.

The police are investigating further. Deepak has been taken for medical tests, and the authorities have confirmed that he was not under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident. 

The car remains in police custody as part of the investigation.
