UP horror: Eight policemen killed by gangster in Kanpur


Kanpur, Jul 3 (IANS): In a shocking incident, eight police personnel, including a circle officer, were shot dead and six policemen seriously injured when a local criminal, Vikas Dubey, and his gang sprayed them with bullets in Vikru village under Chaubeypur police circle in Kanpur in the wee hours of Friday.

The deceased include circle officer Bilhaur, Devendra Kumar, who was leading the team, three sub-inspectors and four constables.

UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has expressed grief over the incident and offered his condolences to the families of the deceased police personnel.


Vikas Dubey

Chief Minister has directed the Special Task Force (STF) to take over investigations and ensure immediate arrest of the criminals. A forensic team has already reached the spot.

IG Kanpur Mohit Agarwal said that the borders of the district had been sealed and forces from several adjoining police stations had been called in for combing operations to arrest the accused.

The injured policemen have been admitted to the hospital and the condition of two of them is said to be critical.

According to reports, the police team comprising about 50 police personnel had gone to the village around 3.30 a.m. after receiving a tip-off about the presence of Vikas Dubey there.

Dubey and his men had stationed a JCB to block their way and as soon as the police team reached there, they started firing from the terrace of a house. The miscreants, numbering about a dozen, also pelted stones at the police men.

The deceased police personnel have received multiple bullets in the incident.

The gangster and his men later looted the arms of the policemen and made an easy escape.

All senior police officials including ADG Kanpur, IG and others have reached the spot.

UP DGP H C Awasthi said that a massive operation has been launched to arrest the accused.

ADG law and order Prashant Kumar also reached the site of the incident.

The bodies have been sent for post mortem.

Vikas Dubey, meanwhile, is wanted in over 60 criminal cases.

In October 2001, he had shot dead senior BJP leader and then chairman of contract labour board, Santosh Shukla, inside the Shivli police station.

Further investigations are on.

All borders of the district have been sealed.

This, incidentally, is one of the biggest attacks on a police team in the state in recent years and has expectedly sent shock waves in the state.

Even as speculations began about the information of the police movement being leaked to the criminal by some 'insider', the IG range said, "This is a matter of investigation. Our focus is now on arresting the accused without delay."

    Not a single policeman came forward to give witness against him hence he got instant bail from court and left scot free.Ploce handin glows can not be ruled out.
    He contested election form jail and won the election since indian law is also supporting criminals to contest election from jail whatever crime they do.

    Under CM Yogi Uttar Pradesh is now Colombia in the business of Crime. The rapes has gone up 40%, kidnapping increased by 44%, loots jumped up by 20%.

    In 2017, 69 criminals were gunned down and over 450 were injured in over 1500 police encounters. Over 12,000 criminals got their bail cancelled due to fear of the law. Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav alleged that Yogi Adityanath government is pursuing a political vendetta against its political opponents and filing fake cases to intimidate them.

    Yogi Adityanath government allocates Rs 447 crores for 221-meter tall Ram statue in Ayodhya. This is the same government under his constituency can't even pay the bills to the supplier of 'Oxygen' to the government hospital resulting in thousands of death of children's.

    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised the nation in 2014 that he will make India a Corruption free, Crime free and License raj free country. It is unfortunate nothing has changed in seven years under his rule rather the law and order situation is deteriorating day by day particularly in the BJP-ruled states. The litany is that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is unable to control his own people who commit crimes without impunity.

    Now, it is for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to think about what legacy he wants to leave behind in the annals of Indian history.

    Indian Police are efficient, kind , honest, athletic looking, intelligent, law protectors, daring, valiant only in TV serials like Crime Patrol.

    In reality they are corrupt, inhuman , stupid, inefficient and timid. Their valour is only against unarmed innocent civilians where they show their power play.

    The recent lockup deaths of 2 innocent in Tamil Nadu mirrors this fact. The cops wont get into a case unless money is poured. If the case is complicated , they wont even register a complaint and scare you of the consequences of time and financial impact. Similarly the cops accept loads of cash if they have to stay away from a case or provide a false consensus.

    I agree with you. 2 years back, we with the helps of our neighbours caught a burglar red handed with cash of Rs 2000 at 2.AM in the morning. An hour later the cops arrived and took him to Kankanady Police Station.

    As advised we visited the station the next day to lodge the complaint. The cops who had come where not in the station as they were on night duty the others who were present just acted dumb and asked us to come after 8PM to register the complaint.

    The burglar was no where to be seen . Now who has time to run and dance after the people. The whole process looked very complicated. We were then told that the thief was punished severely and will never steal again .

    It was only a couple of weeks later that we learnt that the burglar was NOT even taken to the police station ! but was released on the way itself after the cops had confiscated and pocketed all the cash they had.

    Yes, My lorry had met with an accident in Goa that resulted in one death by a car coming on the wrong side. The cops harassed me so much despite being right, I was locked up. Then eventually a constable came up to me when I was alone and said '1 lakh' and he would take care of everything. I managed the funds thru my friends and thats it. I was released and advised to leave the state immediately. A FIR or case was not even filed.
