Bikaru Village Shaken by Vikas Dubey’s Deadly Game
On the night of July 2, 2020, CO Bilhaur had led a police unit to Bikaru to arrest Vikas Dubey. Vikas Dubey had already received information regarding this raid. As soon as the police approached the area, Vikas Dubey and his gunmen started indiscriminate firing, resulting in the death of eight police personnel, including the CO. During this incident, some members of the police force managed to flee and preserve their lives.
This episode shocked the entire state, causing the police to take action. Within a few days, five members of Vikas Dubey’s gang were slain in encounters. 45 suspects were sent to jail. Then, on July 10, Vikas Dubey was also slain in an incident. He was caught at Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. The police had alleged that Vikas Dubey had attempted to flee and had fired at the officers. In self-defense, the police also fired back, resulting in Vikas Dubey’s death.”
