Hours before Vikas Dubey's encounter, plea in SC claims possibility of his killing by cops

Hours before gangster Vikas Dubey was killed in an encounter near Kanpur on Friday, a petition was filed in the SC seeking a direction to the UP government and the police to safeguard his life and ensure that he is not killed by the cops. ​​The plea has also sought registration of an FIR and an apex court-monitored probe by the CBI into the encounter of five co-accused, who were alleged to be associated with Dubey in the killing of eight policemen last week.
