Dubey has been missing in action ever since and all that the cops have so far managed to do is to demolish his house and cars.So far, four people including Dubey's daughter-in-law Chama, maid Rekha Agnihotri and a neighbour have been arrested for helping the gangster and his men by providing them support and information about police personnel's position during the encounter.?

While Dubey is still at large the Yogi Adityanath government has ordered a magisterial enquiry into the encounter, the worst the UP Police has suffered in a long time.What is even worse is how some men in uniform betrayed their own colleagues and leaked the information about the raid to Dubey, which resulted in the ambush and the bloodbath that followed.?

Police have confirmed that it was the now suspended Station Officer (SO) Chaubeypur, Vinay Tiwari that leaked the information to Dubey.?

There was also a massive controversy after a letter said to be written by DSP Mishra began circulating online.In the letter addressed it to the then Kanpur SSP Anant Deo Tiwari who is now DIG STF and is probing the Kanpur incident, Mishra had complained in it about policemen helping the gangster, especially Vinay Tiwari.?

Mishra had reportedly accused Vinay Tiwari of helping the criminal and shielding him against any possible police action. The letter called for strict action against the police officer.However, the letter carried no serial number or date.?

On Tuesday, Senior Superintendent of Police Dinesh Kumar Prabhu said that there was no record of the letter in which Mishra was supposed to have made the serious allegations against Tiwari.The SSP said records at the offices of CO Bilhaur and SP rural were checked, but no such letter was found.He further said that all office records were thoroughly checked in the confidential section of his own office, including police office and SSP camp office, but there was no entry of any letter.?

"I also questioned the clerks who deal with the section, but they denied having any information regarding the letter," SSP asserted.The SSP, however, claimed that the matter is under investigation and efforts are on to probe the charges.
