My condolences to the families of these martyrs of UP Police. Law and order in UP have deteriorated, criminals are fearless. The public and police are not safe. CM himself has the responsibility of law and order. After such a terrible incident, they should take strict action. There should be no laxity.

Vikas Dubey got the news of the arrival of police
Let me tell you, the talk of the murder of 8 policemen is being revealed. According to the media reports, history-sheeter Vikas Dubey had already known that his house was going to be razed at night. Who will be included in the team and what can be the number of forces? Its details were with Vikas. The miscreants even knew what weapons the policemen would have. This was the reason that the crook blocked the way of the police by standing JCB in front of the house. ADG law and order Prashant Kumar said that the policemen had defaulted. It will be investigated.
On the way to the village, a JCB machine was erected so that no one could enter the village with a vehicle. It is clear from this that the miscreants had already received information about the influx of police. So DSP Mishra, along with his colleagues decided to get off the vehicles and enter the village on foot. As the policemen got out of the vehicles. Suddenly bullets started pouring on them. The policemen could not even manage to shoot them from three directions. More than 50 rounds of bullets have been fired at the time of the incident. But the villagers are not ready to say anything. There are blood spots up to 100 meters around Vikas's house. People around say they have not seen anything. Just heard the sound of firing. There are now many questions about this whole incident, to which the police have to find answers during the investigation.
