Kanpur: A new audio of a call recording between Manu, the wife of slain gangster Vikas D ubey’s aide Sashikant, with her brother went viral on Wednesday.
In the conversation, Manu is heard telling her brother in Bhopal that she has already destroyed one SIM card and tells him repeatedly to delete call details from his phone as well. She also tells him that Kallu has been arrested by police.
In apparent reference to Sashikant, her brother says he will not take names, but he is safe.
On Tuesday, in a call recording with Dubey’s sister-in-law Manu had admitted that Vikas and his men had killed the policemen, and discussed ways to dispose the mobile phones and mislead police.
As the audios reveal role of women, police detained Manu for questioning in the case and deferred the decision to get slain Amar Dubey’s wife Khushi out of jail.
On Monday, Kanpur police had announced they would request the court to order release of slain Amar Dubey’s wife from jail as no concrete evidence against her were found during investigation.
“Going by the conversation in audios, it is proven that the women members helped the criminals, so we have dropped the idea of releasing Amar Dubey’s widow. We will conduct a fresh probe in this regard and consult legal experts and then come to any decision,” said SSP Dinesh Kumar Prabhu.
Amar Dubey was killed in a police encounter in Hamirpur five days after the botched police raid at Bikru village. Khushi was arrested on July 9.
Amar and Khushi had got married on June 29. Their marriage was solemnised at Vikas Dubey’s residence as Khushi’s parents were against the wedding. Khushi had shifted to her in-laws place at Bikru village on June 30, police said.
