Oppn demands probe by sitting SC judge

Saturday, 11 July 2020 | PNS | Lucknow

The state government may have some reasons to defend the encounter ‘most wanted criminal’ Vikas Dubey, but the development gave ammunition to the oppositions parties to target the UP Adityanath and demand a judicial probe headed by a sitting judge of Supreme Court.
They alleged that the UP government was hiding “a deep secret” about the killing of Kanpur ambush main accused Vikas Dubey on Friday.
Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday took a swipe at the UP government over the Dubey’s encounter, saying “while the criminal has gone, what about those protecting him?” She also demanded a probe into the entire sequence of events since killing of eight policemen and alleged encounter of six criminals including Vikas Dubey, by a sitting Supreme Court judge.
Congress leader Jitin Prasada also wrote on the microblogging site that “With the end of Vikas Dubey in custody the government has ensured that the trial which would have exposed his nexus with people in positions of power who allowed criminals like him to flourish, has ended too.”
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav too took a jibe at the government’s encounter theory. saying in a tweet that Dubey’s killing helped the Uttar Pradesh government protect secrets that would have come out on the politician-criminal nexus. “Basically the car did not overturn, but the government has been saved from being overturned,” he tweeted.
Reacting to alleged `encounter, Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati demanded a Supreme Court-monitored probe into the encounter of gangster Vikas Dubey. She wanted the inquiry to cover the killing of eight policemen last week in an ambush planned and executed by Dubey.
“There should be an unbiased probe under the supervision of the Supreme Court into the killing of policemen in Kanpur and the encounter of main accused Vikas Dubey while he was trying to flee when the police vehicle overturned,” Mayawati said in a tweet in Hindi.
