Kanpur: ‘Kill them all’, yelled gangster Vikas Dubey as his goons ambushed police teams

LUCKNOW: ‘Kill them all’, yelled gangster Vikas Dubey as he, along with about 100 henchmen, ambushed the police teams outside his house in Bikru village of Kanpur on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday. This has been stated in the FIR lodged against Dubey and his men who brutally killed eight policemen.
The FIR further states that the don and his goons looted the weapons of cops before fleeing the spot. The looted firearms included 9mm pistols of SO Mahesh Yadav, SO Bithoor Kaushlendra Pratap Singh, Anoop Kumar Singh, AK-47 rifle of Jitendra Kumar, and an Insas of constable Sultan, along with 70 cartridges.
Twenty-one identified persons, including Vikas Dubey, and 80 unidentified persons have been named in the FIR lodged by station officer Chaubeypur, Vinay Tiwari. Ironically, Tiwari was suspended immediately after lodging the FIR for his alleged complicity with Dubey.
Giving a detailed account of the ambush in the FIR, Tiwari states that around 12.27am on Friday, three police teams comprising 32 personnel, reached Bikru village for a raid at Dubey’s house. “As soon as the teams reached near Dubey’s house they were attacked from all sides, while Dubey could be heard yelling ‘kill them all, how dare they tried to conduct a raid upon us, ensure that nobody is alive,” Tiwari states in the FIR. He adds that the gun attack began around 1am and ended by 1.30am.
The FIR has also given a detailed account of how circle officer, Bilhaur, Devendra Mishra, was dragged by the attackers into the home of Prem Kumar Pandey, the maternal uncle of Dubey, and killed with an axe.
Tiwari in his account, however, says that lives of many police personnel, including SO Kaushalendra Pratap Singh, were saved because his (Tiwari’s) team continued to give them cover fire.
Tiwari adds that all goons of Dubey were armed and opened consistent fire.
The FIR also states that Dubey was a gangster who had amassed movable and immovable properties through illegal means.
Dubey and his henchmen have been booked under the charges of murder, attempt to murder, rioting, rioting with deadly weapons, robbery, and unlawful assembly.
