Arnab and the Lambo: Here’s the real story behind the ruckus



It all started with the rumors of Arnab Goswami having been caught speeding on the sea-link. The news anchor, who was actually trying to be a Good Samaritan was initially accused of breaking the law. In reality, he was the man who called the police officials to report the antics of the speed junkie creating a nuisance. There, however, is no or little clarity about what happened in the interim or later.
Curious to figure out as to where exactly Goswami spotted the accused, and how the police managed to track down the speeding car so quickly, Motoroids contacted S. Jaykumar, Deputy Commissioner Of Police, Zone-III to get a better view of the entire episode and this is what we learnt.

The most interesting aspect of the entire episode is that accused didn’t just do a single run of the sea-link. In a bid to quench his hankering for a shot of adrenaline he decided to make several trips up and down the elevated road and sea face in the Lamborghini Huracan. The driver of the Lamborghini, Samvit Ramesh Tara (39), a Juhu based businessman, was intercepted later at the sea face after receiving a complaint call from Goswami. Moreover, according to the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Tara was not carrying a driving license at the time of the incident.
The red Lamborghini Huracan seen in the images is the Test Drive Vehicle of Lamborghini Mumbai. There are conflicting views about the driver and the Lamborghini. While some say that the accused, Tara, already owns a Lamborghini Huracan and test car was loaned to him as a substitute for his car which is currently in the workshops. Others say that he took the vehicle out for a test drive as a prospective customer. We were not able to contact Samvit Tara to hear his side of the story.
