The Lamborghini that hit two people in Noida, leaving them injured, is owned by popular YouTuber Mridul Tiwari, police said on Monday.
The police have summoned Mridul for questioning as they investigate who authorised the car's use at the time of the incident on Sunday evening.
The driver, Deepak, was taken into police custody after ramming two people in Noida's Sector 94. When confronted by locals, he asked if anyone had died. During the initial probe, Deepak admitted that he was taking the car for a test drive and that it did not belong to him.
The accused, Deepak, who hails from Jaipur, works as a car broker in the Delhi-NCR area. The investigation has revealed that he took the luxury car for a test drive.
The police are trying to determine if Mridul, a Noida resident with around 19 million subscribers on YouTube, is linked to the incident in any way.
On Sunday evening, as locals heard a loud thud, they ran towards the car and confronted the driver. "Why are you showing off your stunt skills? People have died, do you have any idea?" asked one local. A shocked Deepak asked, "Has someone been killed here?"
After the locals alerted the police, one of them accused Deepak of over-speeding. Deepak responded by saying that he was pressing on the accelerator very softly. "Was that soft?," the local countered.
As the police arrived, Deepak was taken into custody. Subsequently, the injured labourers were taken to a nearby hospital. The police, today, said that they are out of danger.
The car has been confiscated by the police and a case was registered against Deepak.
