Lawyer And Law Student Write To Allahabad CJ Seeking CBI/SIT Probe Into Alleged “Fake Encounter” Of Kanpur Gangster Vikas Dubey & Aides
A letter petition has been addressed to the Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court seeking an independent CBI/ SIT enquiry into the alleged police encounter of gangster Vikas Dubey, who was arrested yesterday from MP’s Ujjain, allegedly for killing eight policemen in UP’s Kanpur on July 3.
The letter, penned by Supreme Court Advocate Pawan Prakash Pathak and a final year law student from Delhi University, Abhijeet Kumar Pandey, also seeks an enquiry into the killing of 8 police men and alleged encounter of five aides of Dubey. Highlighting that fake encounters by the police are nothing but cold-blooded murders, the letter rhetorically remarks, Are Police encounters exception to the “Rule of Law” and are they an exception to the “Right to Life & Due procedure” guaranteed under the Indian Constitution?
