An inquiry commission has given UP cops clean chit in killing of gangster Vikas Dubey who was shot in an encounter after his arrest last year. The commission has said that there is no evidence of wrongdoing against the Uttar Pradesh police. Vikas Dubey and his five associates were killed by the UP police in July last year, days after the gangster set up an ambush in which eight policemen were killed. The commission has reportedly said that no one, including the gangster's family, came forward to give any evidence against the police.
Vikas Dubey was being brought back to UP in a police convoy when he was shot dead. The police said the car in which Dubey was traveling flipped and he snatched a policeman's gun, tried to escape and opened fire when they shot him.
