Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh): The opposition parties on Friday slammed the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government over the encounter of dreaded gangster Vikas Dubey, while being brought back to the state from Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain.

Former Chief Minister and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav took to Twitter and wrote, "Actually, his car has not overturned, but the government has been saved from turning over the secret."

  • दरअसल ये कार नहीं पलटी है, राज़ खुलने से सरकार पलटने से बचाई गयी है.

His remarks came soon after Dubey died on Friday morning after being critically injured in an alleged shootout with the STF officials on Friday morning near Kanpur. The gangster was shot when he reportedly tried to flee, following a road accident in which the vehicle he was travelling in overturned near Kanpur. Dubey was taken to the emergency ward of the Hallett Hospital. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Kanpur Dinesh Kumar said that the doctors have confirmed the death of Vikas Dubey.

  • अपराधी का अंत हो गया, अपराध और उसको सरंक्षण देने वाले लोगों का क्या?

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra too took a swipe at the Adityanath government, questioning what will happen to those who gave patronage in this case.

"The culprit has been killed but what about crime and people who gave patronage?" Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet.

Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) leader Jayant Chaudhary also slammed the BJP government over the "encounter rule" in the state and urged all the judges to resign. "After Vikas Dubey''s encounter, all the judges of the country should resign. There is no need of court in BJP''s encounter rule," Chaudhary said in a series of tweets. "All this drama has been created to save the real culprits of killing eight policemen," the RLD leader said in another tweet.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Kumar Jha also criticised the Uttar Pradesh government over the encounter saying the 'black truth' of the entire 'syndicate' has also been 'encountered' along with Dubey.

"If the news of the Vikas Dubey death in the encounter is true, then accept that the black truth of the entire syndicate has also been encountered. The system has saved itself from being naked. How the story is so simple from yesterday's visuals of Mahakal temple to the story till today morning. Proceed with this as the final truth (sic)," Jha tweeted.

  • अगर #विकासदूबे की एनकाउंटर में मौत की खबर सच है तो मान लीजिए पूरे सिंडिकेट के काले सच का भी एनकाउंटर कर दिया गया।सिस्टम ने अपने को नंगा होने से बचा लिया।कल के महाकाल मंदिर के visuals से लेकर अब तक कि कथा कितनी मासूम है..इसे ही अंतिम सत्य मान आगे बढिए।

Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati also demanded a Supreme Court-monitored probe into the encounter of Dubey.

  • 2. यह उच्च-स्तरीय जाँच इसलिए भी जरूरी है ताकि कानपुर नरसंहार में शहीद हुए 8 पुलिसकर्मियों के परिवार को सही इन्साफ मिल सके। साथ ही, पुलिस व आपराधिक राजनीतिक तत्वों के गठजोड़ की भी सही शिनाख्त करके उन्हें भी सख्त सजा दिलाई जा सके। ऐसे कदमों से ही यूपी अपराध-मुक्त हो सकता है। 2/2

"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.

Meanwhile, Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief Om Prakash Rajbhar said that gangster Vikas Dubey should have been punished after a trial in court and alleged that he had been killed so that the government can hide its incompetence.

"He (Vikas Dubey) has been killed so that the government can hide its incompetence. He was a criminal and should have been punished. He should have been punished under the rule of law after a court trial," Rajbhar said.

The SBSP chief also alleged that "Since the BJP government came in power, Vikas Dubey was being shielded by the state administration. In order to save himself, Vikas had revealed how some leaders used to aid him. How did Vikas Dubey manage to flee? How did he manage to reach Ujjain? Uttar Pradesh police with 2.5 lakh personnel must answer this."

According to reports, as the convoy bringing Dubey from Madhya Pradesh's Ujjain reached the Bhauti area under the Barra police circle in Kanpur on Friday morning, the vehicle in which Vikas was seated, overturned after skidding on the road due to heavy rain.

Dubey, along with two other police personnel in the vehicle, was injured in the accident. As soon as the gangster was taken out of the vehicle, he allegedly snatched a pistol from the STF team and tried to fire at the police. He was fatally injured in retaliatory firing. Dubey received a bullet injury in the chest which proved fatal. Five members of the Dubey gang have been killed in police encounters over the past seven days.
