Narendra Mehta, an Indian politician and member of the Bharatiya Janata Party, surprised his wife Suman on her birthday this week with a brand new Lamborghini Huracan, but her joy didn’t last for long.
According to eyewitness reports coming in from India, moments after receiving the exotic Italian gift and taking it for its maiden voyage, Suman somehow lost control and rammed the orange-colored Lambo into a stationery rickshaw parked across a school, narrowly missing three pedestrians.
No one was hurt, with the Hindustan Times reporting that the rickshaw driver didn’t press any charges as Suman’s husband compensated for the damages.
The 43-year old politician downplayed the incident in a statement released to the press: “My wife has 18 years of experience and has driven Audi and other imported cars. The car just touched the front of the auto and it was not damaged. Road side mechanics cannot repair the car, which is currently parked in school premises,” said Mehta.
