Kanpur encounter live updates: Former senior cops outraged, call for inquiry into Dubey encounter

Gangster Vikas Dubey died in an encounter on Friday morning while Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) was bringing him back from Madhya Pradesh to Kanpur. Read on what we know so far.

One of the vehicles of the convoy of Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) that was bringing back gangster Vikas Dubey from Madhya Pradesh to Kanpur overturned near Barra area of the city on Friday morning. The accident happened at around 7am. There are reports that Vikas has been injured along with an STF sub inspector and two constables who were accompanying him in the vehicle. However, an official confirmation is awaited.

Vikas Dubey's wife Richa Dubey was arrested from her Krishna Nagar residence on Thursday evening by a team of the Special Task Force (STF) on charges of harbouring the gangster and conniving with him, police sources said. The gangster's son and a servant were also arrested, sources said.

The U.S. Department of Transportation said it has revoked permission for Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) to conduct charter flights to the United States, citing Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) concerns over Pakistani pilot certifications. Pakistan last month grounded almost a third of its pilots after discovering they may have falsified their qualifications.
