Accused of killing 8 policemen in the Kanpur shoot-out, gangster and history-sheeter Vikas Dubey is still absconding, while the Uttar Pradesh police declared a bounty of Rs 2.5 lakh on him.
With forces of 40 police stations deployed to find and arrest Dubey, his political links and connections within the police force have now emerged.
Meanwhile, his sister claims Dubey would threaten his family members too. "He is my brother but he deserves strictest punishment," Chandrakanta Tiwari said.
In 2001, Vikas was accused of killing then BJP MoS Santosh Shukla inside the Shivli police station, and was later acquitted in the case. Santosh Shukla's brother Manoj Shukla had told The Quint that role of police when Shukla was killed inside the police station is the reason Dubey dared to kill 8 policemen recently and go scot-free.
Vikas Dubey's sister has condemned the killing of police personnel by her brother's aides.
