The luxury vehicle struck pedestrians and multiple cars, injuring six people. Although initial reports cited an unknown driver, India Today coverage led to Mishra being named in the FIR. Video evidence shows a bouncer pulling Mishra from the driver's seat, contradicting legal claims.
Amid ruckus and adjournments, the Opposition is mulling bringing a no-confidence motion against Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla. However, they do not have the numbers in Lok Sabha.
