Panel seek property details of Vikas Dubey aides

KANPUR: A three-member inquiry commission, headed by

former Supreme Court judge Justice

(retd) B S Chauhan, set up by

the apex court

to probe

Vikas Dubey encounter

and the circumstances that led to it, asked the district police to provide a list of movable and immovable assets of persons associated with the slain gangster.

Police sources told TOI that the Commission had asked

Chaubeypur

and Shivli police both to furnish the details of the movable and non-movable assets of 53 persons close to slain gangster Vikas Dubey.

The move comes close on the heels of the visit by the Commission of the encounter sites including Kanshiram Newada, where gangsters aides Prem Prakash and

Atul Dubey

, Sachendi where slain gangster Vikas and Panki where Prabhat Mishra, were gunned down by the police.

“The Commission has given a list of 53 people associated directly and indirectly to gangster to district and police officials and asked them to ensure compliance,” said a senior official, who added, “The copies of the list of 53 persons have also been issued to Chaubeypur and Shivli police.”

Inspector Shivli Veerpal Singh Tomar confirmed reporters that they have been asked to furnish details of the movable and immovable assets soon. “We have been also asked to provide details about the mode/source of acquisition as well as value of the movable and immovable property at the time of acquisition or its present value,” he said.

It is to be noted that Jaikant Bajpai, one of the close associates of slain gangster Dubey, and who is presently in jail, allegedly took care of Dubey’s blackmoney and helped him use it in his various businesses, including real estate. The police found out that he used to arrange a huge amount of cash for Dubey on short notice and also used to provide him with luxury cars.
