On Jul 10, 2020

Kanpur: The end of Vikas Dubey chapter had predicted well beforehand by an IPS officer Amitabh Thakur.

On Thursday, Thakur tweeted that Vikas Dubey may probably try to escape from police custody and end up being shot dead.

This tweet proved to be prophetic as a gangster was shot dead near Kanpur on Friday when he allegedly tried to escape.

विकास दूबे का सरेंडर हो गया. हो सकता है कल वह UP पुलिस कस्टडी से भागने की कोशिश करे, मारा जाये. इस तरह विकास दूबे चैप्टर क्लोज हो जायेगा, किन्तु मेरी निगाह में असल जरुरत इस कांड से
सामने आई UP पुलिस के अन्दर की गंदगी को ईमानदारी से देखते हुए उसपर निष्पक्ष/कठोर कार्यवाही करना है

Now the killing has raised many questions. According to the police the incident occurred at Bhauti police station on the National Highway-2 when Vikas was being brought by STF from Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh.
