As soon as the news of the killing of gangster Vikas Dubey was made public, there were many questions raised by the politicians on the credibility of the claims made by the Uttar Pradesh Police.
According to the police, Vikas Dubey was being taken in a car that overturned midway on a highway after which he tried to escape. He also snatched a gun apparently. In retaliation, the Uttar Pradesh police shot him. Reacting to this claim, former Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Akhilesh Yadav tweeted,
“Actually, the car didn’t topple. The UP government has been saved from toppling by secrets that would have been revealed.”
Yesterday, when the news of his arrest came about, the Samajwadi Party leader had asked whether the arrest was in fact a surrender. He tweeted,
“There is news that the main accused in the Kanpur case is in police custody. If this is true, the government should clarify whether it was surrender or an arrest. Call records should be made public so that those who colluded with him are exposed.”
Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi also tweeted and said,
“The criminal is dead. But what about crime and those who give protection to it?”
