Kanpur: There’s more damning proof that disgraced cop Vinay Tiwari, who fled ground zero Bikru on the night of the bloodbath in which eight of his colleagues died, had tipped of slain gangster Vikas Dubey about the impending raid. Another audio clip has surfaced, minutes after the ambush in which the now suspended SHO Vinay Tiwari could be heard talking to his senior about the unfolding horror.
In the over 2-minute audio, Tiwari was being asked whether his force could regroup and fight back and he’s heard saying that at least 16 policemen were under siege by gangster’s henchmen, who were firing from rooftops. “I am constantly trying to make phone calls to policemen to enquire about their well-being, but in vain,” he’s heard saying, clearing showing he's not in the thick of things. Further, the officer is heard telling the SHO that Dubey has been tipped off by Chaubeypur police as the gangster seems to be well prepared and had enough time to plan the ambush. This was perhaps the fourth instance when the moles in khaki were exposed.
At one point of time, the officer is heard asking the SHO whether they had come too close to the gangster’s house and cop is heard saying that gang members were positioned on roof-tops, while they were stuck in the by-lanes. Earlier, Daya Shankar Agnihotri, an accomplice of the don, who was arrested on July 5 in Kalyanpur, had admitted that Dubey received a call from Chaubeypur police station about the police raid.
