Vikash Dubey’s life story is not less than any storyline of a dreadful mobster from a Bollywood movie. His life has everything, that we come across the movies based on gangsters’ life.
This most wanted Kanpur gangster was shot at an encounter today morning, while he was trying to escape when the police car which was heading toward Kanpur along with him overturned due to a road accident.
Vikash Dubey Criminal History
Vikash Dubey was from the Bikaru Village of Uttar Pradesh. He entered into the crime world in the early 1990s, with small robberies and burglaries. He was very much clear about his goal and how to reach it.
He wanted to be the Don of Kanpur. As per records, his reign of sin in Kanpur is from 3 decades.
Vikash Dubey has 60 criminal cases against him in Chaubeypur police station. He also got arrested many times but was never convicted.
Although he was a dreadful criminal his understanding with the political ground was a big support to him.
In 2000, Vikash Dubey was arrested for the murder of assistant manager at Tarachand inter College, named Siddheshwar Pandey in Shivli police station of Kanpur.
His arrest did not stop him from any evil act. In the same year when he was in jail, he planned and executed the murder of Rambabu Yadav in Kanpur.
One of the most high profile crime act of Vikas was the open murder of BJP leader Santosh Sukhla in front of 25 policemen inside Shivli police station Kanpur. After this act, he surrendered himself to Shivli police station, and surprisingly his surrender was accompanied by many politicians.
The more shocking fact of this case was that, despite 25 policemen eyewitnesses, he was not convicted. All the policemen turned back in the courtroom and he was acquitted.
In 2002, Vikash Dubey was involved in illegal possession of massive lands through illegitimate means.
In 2004, he was again accused of the murder of Dinesh Dubey, the cable businessman.
His political linkage and service to political parties made his criminal journey way lenient to continue his crime and misconduct.
He came again into the highlight in 2018 for carrying out a murderous attack on his cousin Anurag, where the victim’s wife identified Vikas and four of his gang members.
After rising the height in his Criminal world, he was now all set to join politics and wanted to be MLA. He and his wife also does hold a high position in the Zila panchayat body.
His big political connection, monetary power, and reliance with few of the police department bodies made his escape easier and also helped him to continue his crimes fearlessly even when he was locked in Jail.
Vikash Dubey- Killed 8 cops
All his associations helped him again this time when a team of police officials was heading towards Bhikru village to nab him. It was his confidants in position who tipped him off this plan and he with his gang people were all set to attack back. During the firing from both sides, 8 policemen of Uttar Pradesh including DSP, were killed in the clash with the Kanpur criminals. Vikas again succeeded to flee from there.
After this incident, Vikas Dubey fleed from Kanpur to Faridabad and from Faridabad to Ujjain. And the police of all these 3 states were on the chase after him.
Vikash Dubey Arrested In Mahakal Temple Ujjain
It is quite surprising, with so much police hunting he was able to reach Ujjain, be in Mahakal Temple, and after being recognized by a shop keeper he surrendered himself as the Police reached the temple to grab him. He was shouting out his name loud ‘Main Vikash Dubey hu Kanpur wala- I am Vikash Dubey from Kanpur’.
It has still not been proved was this a surrender or police was able to arrest this gangster quite easily when he was out in a public place, ‘Mahakal Temple’ of Ujjain.
Vikash Dubey-The Gangster Shot Dead
And to add to the list of coincidences, within 24 hours of his arrest when he was been taken to Kanpur from Madhya Pradesh under police custody one of the three police cars met with an accident on Friday morning. The car got skit and overturned on the slick road due to rain. Not less than any crime scene he grabbed a gun from a wounded policeman and tried to escape. As per reports he was caught by other policemen and was charged for surrender, he denied and started firing on the police officials, in this process Vikash was shot and injured.
He was taken to hospital and died during treatment as per reports.
This has come to an end but does the story ends here. The criminals like Vikash Dubey start as a matchstick fire which gets aired and turned into a forest fire by his political and administrative companions. His uninterrupted long crime journey is a question to the political and administrative system of our country, what if he was not backed or underpinned, what if he would have been convicted long back, or was it that his part of service period is over now and he does not fit into the game anymore.
A proper investigation on Vikas Dubey’s case and valued change in the political and administrative system is required which will never allow any kind of crime to foster in any state of India. That will bring real justice for the state and India.
