Kanpur; 06 July 2020 (UMMN): UP police has demolished terrorist Vikas Dubey’s palatial house in Kanpur’s Bikru village after the brutal murder of eight policemen including a DSP.
Police found a bunker with two kg of explosives, six country-made pistols, 25 live rounds and shrapnels.
According to Hindustan Times, Kanpur inspector general (IG) Mohit Agarwal said Dubey had built a bunker inside the house, stocked with items on which he and his men could have survived for days in case of a prolonged siege.
UP police has not been able to trace Dubey.
Police suspect that Vikas Dubey, the prime accused in the massacre of eight policemen in an ambush in Kanpur early Friday may have slipped out of Uttar Pradesh before the state’s borders were sealed, reported Hindustan Times.
Police officials associated with the investigation said the recovery of an abandoned black colour Ford SUV parked by the roadside in Auraiya and the tracking of Dubey’s last cell phone location in the same area hinted that he, along with some of his accomplices, had sneaked into Madhya Pradesh by road via Etawah and Jhansi districts.
Car number plate has “Sangh Parivar” written on it. Vikas Dubey was also the President of Bhartiya Janta Yuva Morcha for Kanpur Bundelkhand region.
Ram Kumar Dubey, father of Vikas Dubey, said he was unaware of the shootout in which eight policemen were killed. Ramkumar had been living in Vikas’s new house that was demolished on Saturday.
When asked about Vikas Dubey, Ram Kumar said that he had faith in the court where the truth would come out. “We will see the case in court,”.
