NOIDA: The Lamborghini involved in a crash in Noida’s Sector 94 on Sunday, which left two construction workers injured, belongs to Mridul, a YouTuber with 18.7 million followers, a resident of Supernova in Sector 94.
The luxury car was being test-driven by Deepak Kumar, a car dealer from Ajmer, when it veered off the road and ploughed into workers sitting on a pavement near an under-construction building.
Police said Deepak had come to Noida to evaluate the performance of the Lamborghini, which is registered in Mridul’s name.

Around 5pm, as he was driving the car back after a day of testing and shopping, he lost control and hit two workers, both of whom suffered injuries to their arms and legs.
Two others narrowly escaped.
A 51-second video of the aftermath, widely shared on social media, captured a heated exchange between Deepak and a bystander.
In the clip, a man can be heard confronting the driver, asking, “Are you practising stunts?” Deepak’s response—”Is anyone dead?”—has since sparked outrage, with many questioning the casual attitude toward reckless driving.
Police from Sector 126 station took Deepak into custody and registered an FIR under sections 281 (rash driving) and 125(a) (causing hurt by an act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The vehicle was also seized.
Police acknowledged that the accident has reignited concerns over high-performance vehicles being driven recklessly on busy city roads, particularly by untrained drivers pushing speed limits.
