Kanpur, Ta. 4 July 2020, Saturday

A reward of Rs 50,000 has been announced for information leading to the capture of notorious criminal Vikas Dubey, who was responsible for the killing of eight police personnel during a clash in Kanpur. Kanpur IG Mohit Agarwal announced the award on Friday. Many people are currently being interrogated to get the trail of Vikas Dubey and Mohit Agarwal has assured that the details of the whereabouts of Vikas Dubey will be kept secret.

In the Thana area under Chaubepur in Kanpur, where the historian Vikas Dubey's men killed eight police personnel, about 60 cases have been registered against Vikas. Vikas Dubey has become the most wanted accused for UP police after the clash at Kanpur.

Search operation in full swing

Police have taken into custody several dozen people from the village of Most Wanted Vikas Dubey and are preparing to question the whole chronology and mastermind development of the attack. Police have also put about 500 phone numbers on surveillance. Strict police has been deployed in the entire Bikru village and a search operation is underway in and around the village.

About two dozen people from the village have been taken into custody for questioning and a police forensic team is also investigating the scene. The DGP himself visited the entire village and an investigation into the CCTV connected to the village is underway.

Vikas had hatched the bloody conspiracy after an FIR was lodged against him by a man named Rahul at Chaubepur police station on Thursday. In this case, Thane Dewan Yashveer Singh said that there is a history sheet of his three brothers, including Vikas. Rahul's FIR was responsible for this whole bloody game. Based on Rahul's complaint, the police had reached Bikru village of Vikas for investigation.

Rahul had lodged a complaint alleging that Vikas had forcibly transferred his father-in-law's land to his name. He wrote in the FIR that Vikas forcibly put him in a car and took him to his house and beat him up in a room but he managed to escape at night.

After the incident, Rahul lodged a complaint against Vikas on Thursday and a police team reached Bikru to investigate the entire case. CO Devendra Mishra himself went there with the help of several police forces as he feared that the police would oppose him in Bikro. A police team was also sent to the house of complainant Rahul for his safety but no one was present at his house.

When the police reached Bikro, their way was blocked by placing JCB so that the police personnel led by CO Mishra proceeded on foot. But at that time Vikas's thugs started firing at him from three directions and killed eight people, including the CO of UP police.
