Dubey’s wife, son immerse his ashes in Ganga

Kanpur: Nearly 38 days after gangster Vikas Dubey’s cremation, his widow Richa Dubey along with her elder son and an advocate on Tuesday collected ashes of her late husband from the Bhairav Ghat where he was cremated after his death in police encounter on July 10. Richa and her sons thereafter immersed the ashes in the river Ganga.
The ashes had been kept at the crematorium since July 10 when the mortal remains of Dubey were consigned to flames.
Dubey was one of the main accused in the Bikru ambush which claimed lives of eight policemen. Dubey was shot dead in a shootout after a police vehicle carrying him from Ujjain to Kanpur met with an accident and he tried to escape from the spot in Bhauti area on July 10 morning, police had said.
Earlier, Dubey had been arrested from the Mahakaal temple in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain on July 9. His family also visited Kanpur Nagar Nigam to claim his death certificate. Richa refused to talk on being approached by media persons at various junctions.
To recall, Richa had recently told reporters that she took decision to stay away from Vikas Dubey as she did not want her kids to follow their father into the world of crime.
She had also apologised to families of the eight policemen. She also stated that she had full faith in the judiciary. She had also apologised to chief minister as well. Richa said she wanted to live in society peacefully.
