Everyone knows that police encounter of Vikas Dubey (Kanpur walla) was fake. But the govt appointed panel has now given clean chit to the police:
3-man panel gives clean chit to UP police for Vikas Dubey killing - Rediff.com India News
Why people believe Vikas Dubey encounter to be fake?
It is a no-brainer if we look at the chain of incidents.
1. There were journalists chasing the police car in which Vikas Dubey was being transported. The journalists cars were asked to stop for some time and when they were allowed to move, they found that Vikas Dubey was killed. It was clearly done by police to prevent journalists to see the events live.
2. The car which had overturned was not the car in which Vikas Dubey was being transported, but it was a different car from the police. Vikas Dubey was last spotted by journalists in a different car and he was declared dead while fleeing from a different car.
3. The manner in which the car had overturned, clearly showed that it was manually pushed to turn turtle. There were no scratches, no signs of hit or damages which could prove that it was a natural accident.
4. Vikas Dubey was killed inside a muddy lane much away from the main road. (It was perhaps done to avoid any eye-witnesses on the road to see his execution). If car met with real accident, Vikas Dubey should not have been able to run so far, also since he had a leg problem and he was under arrest and hence chained.
5. Vikas Dubey had bullet wounds on his chest, which is impossible when police is shooting a fleeing person.
6. Vikas Dubey was killed in the same manner in which his other associates were killed. Police claimed all of them were trying to flee after being arrested and hence police had to shoot them dead too.
7. When Vikas Dubey was taken to a hospital with injuries in encounter, he had a mask on his face. How could Vikas Dubey keep a mask while his car overturned, he ran and shot at policemen and was shot in the chest by the policemen?
There are many interesting things in this report.
The report mentions, "Nobody came forward from the public and media to controvert the police version and no evidence is filed in rebuttal. Richa Dubey, wife of Vikas, filed an affidavit calling the incident a fake encounter but she did not appear before the commission," it said, adding that in such eventuality, no suspicion or doubt arises about the police's version of the incident.
This must have happened because everyone believed that the state government had got Vikas Dubey killed using police and who can dare to come in front and risk his own life? Also, just because no one came forward does not prove there was nothing doubtful about police version of events. The commission could have easily gone through the newspaper reporting which had clearly proven police's version of events as a fiction.
The commission said there is "sufficient material on record" to show that Vikas Dubey and his gang were patronised by the local police, revenue and administrative officials.
This itself should have indicated to the commission that the same policemen who earlier patronized Vikas Dubey would have wanted him dead rather than alive after he was arrested, so that their names and involvement does not come in light. So, the police clearly had a "motive" to kill Vikas Dubey and the commission innocently misses this simple fact.
In most of the cases, the high court had granted interim relief to Dubey, staying the proceedings before subordinate courts in criminal cases, and he remained under the protection of such orders for 13-14 years, it said. The commission said the HC granted bail to Dubey and his associates mainly on the ground that he had been acquitted in a large number of cases, without attempting to know under what circumstances he was acquitted and how and why the witnesses turned hostile in most of the cases.
Interestingly, here the commission is calling even High Court "incompetent" (no offense meant) in granting Vikas Dubey bails. How far could the commission go in painting Vikas Dubey black and trying to defame him over past incidents? Vikas Dubey was a strongman in his area and hence he was framed in petty issues. We can see his old video where he says that people and police used to add his name in petty issues whatever happened in his area to trap him. Hence he used to get bail following the due legal process.
All said and done, the suspected fake encounters of Vikas Dubey and his other associates including Prem Kumar Pandey, Atul Dubey, Amar Dubey, Prabhat Mishra and Bauwa Pandey are a blot in the face of Police and state government. These men should have been brought to justice and prosecuted and their associates in any political parties or even government and police should have been exposed and prosecuted - and that would have been proper carrying of justice. Killing foot soldiers gives indications of protecting the "big fish" and people can easily make out the foul play.
