Dreaded gangster Vikas Dubey, who has been on the run for almost a week now, ever since the ambush and killing of eight police personnel in Kanpur, was finally arrested on Thursday (9 July) from inside the Mahakaal temple in the Madhya Pradesh town of Ujjain.
According to sources, Vikas reached the temple around 8 am and then informed the security men about his identity and asked them to inform the police.
A video of his arrest has gone viral on social media, albeit for different reason. An ANI video show the gangster shouting “Main Vikas Dubey hoon Kanpur wala” (I am Vikas Dubey from Kanpur). Just after this, a cop, present nearby, can be seen giving a tight ‘Ujjain-style’ slap to Dubey asking him to remain silent and sit in the police car.
The Uttar Pradesh Police has officially confirmed the arrest of Vikas Dubey.
Dubey had been eluding the police since the past one week and though four dozen teams of Special Task Force and state police were chasing him, they could not nab him.
The Madhya Pradesh police has taken the gangster away and their Uttar Pradesh counterparts will now seek transit remand and bring him to Kanpur.
Five associates of Vikas Dubey have bene shot dead in Uttar Pradesh after the killing of eight policemen last week in Bikru village in the dead of the night as they were ambushed by Dubey's men.
Two of his associates, Prem Prakash Pandey and Atul Dubey were shot dead on June 3, hours after the massacre. Amar Dubey was shot dead on Wednesday in Hamirpur and Prabhat and Bauan Dubey were shot dead in Kanpur and Etawah respectively, on Thursday morning.
All of them were reportedly involved in the shootout.
