Taking a dig at the arrest of Kanpur carnage mastermind Vikas Dubey from Mahakal temple of Ujjain on Thursday, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav said that the government should clarify whether it was a surrender or arrest.
He also demanded that Dubey’s call detail record (CDR) be made public to unravel the politico-criminal nexus.
“It is being reported that the prime accused of Kanpur incident is in police custody. If this is true, the government should clarify whether it was surrender or arrest,” said Akhilesh in Lucknow on Thursday.
“The high drama in the arrest of Vikas Dubey in Ujjain is definitely part of a well-planned conspiracy. The accused crossing the boundaries of four states was impossible without active nexus with the police and politicians,” the SP chief said.
“The Kanpur incident not only ripped off the mask of civility of the BJP regime, police and intelligence network of UP also stand exposed. The active cooperation given to the accused by cops after he committed the heinous crime of killing eight policemen has also brought to the fore the rot that has gripped the police and state machinery. Law and order has been reduced to mockery as criminals are controlling police stations and policemen are at the beck and call duty of the mafia,” said Akhilesh.
In the early hours of July 3, eight Kanpur police officers and men were killed in an ambush at Bikru village of Chaubepur (Kanpur) by history-sheeter Vikas Dubey and his gang. Teams of three police stations were approaching Dubey’s house for arresting him when they were attacked. Dubey absconded after the gory killing after which the state government increased the bounty for his arrest four times in the last six days from Rs 25,000 to Rs 5 lakh.
