According to Police, Anukool who was driving at high speed, lost control of the Lamborghini and crashed.
The supercar jumped a lane separator before ramming side on into railings near Panchsheel at Krishi Vihar Bus stand. Severity of damage to the supercar and the railings suggests Anukool was driving at over 140 kmph. 20 spokes of the railing were broken as the Lamborghini kept moving forward after impact for about 150 meters.

The orange car was wrecked and a cycle was lying nearby. Two injured people were lying by the roadside. The cyclist was alive and shouting for help. But the driver of the car was badly injured and his stomach bore the brunt of the injury. I immediately made a PCR call.”
Senior Police official, investigating the case, said: “We received a call around 5.15am. We rushed the victims to the AIIMS Trauma Centre where the driver of the Lamborghini was found dead while the other person was admitted for treatment. We have registered a case under appropriate sections of IPC and now the accident cell will further investigate the matter.” Police have added that the crashed Lamborghini was registered in the name of one of the leading jewellers in Delhi.
