Dubey, who was on a run after he and his henchmen killed eight policemen in Kanpur, was shot dead on July 10 when he was being brought from Madhya Pradesh to Uttar Pradesh. Police said the vehicle he was seated in overturned on the way and he tried to flee. The police said Dubey also snatched the gun and tried to shoot at the cops.

‘The motive of Vikas Dubey was to flee and attack the cops again. This triggered self-defence leading to the encounter,’ the UP Police said in an affidavit submitted in the Supreme Court.
