Ex-SSP Kanpur tore Dubey’s history sheet, claims senior scribe

Kanpur: More startling revelations came to fore with regard to gangster Vikas Dubey, who had killed 8 policemen in Bikru village.
The latest case is related to tearing of his history-sheet by the then SSP.
In 2009, the then SSP Kanpur Anand Swaroop, courted controversy by tearing the history sheet of gangster Vikas Dubey saying that those who had given up crimes a long time ago also have the right to live.
In 2009, when there was the BSP government in the state, senior journalist Sunil Gupta, who covered the event, said that the then SSP Kanpur, Anand Swaroop, prepared a list of the history-sheeters who had said goodbye to crime.
"The list had names of people whose history sheets were open, but they had not committed any crime for a long time. The reason given for this exercise was that many times in case of any crime in the district, police also harass the old history sheeters who have no connection with the crime. Most of the history sheeters in this list were people between the ages of 60 and 80 years.
Vikas Dubey who was 40–45 years old at that time was also invited in this programme where the then SSP tore the history sheet", Sunil Gupta said.
According to Vikas Dubey’s history sheet, there are 60 cases registered against him.
