The gangster was patronised by local police, revenue and administrative officials, said the three-member panel, adding that any case lodged against him and his associates was 'never impartial'.

NEW DELHI: The Justice B S Chauhan inquiry commission has found no evidence of wrongdoing by Uttar Pradesh police in the encounter killings of gangster Vikas Dubey and his five associates, which were allegedly staged to exact revenge for the murder of eight policemen by the outlaw and his men at Bikru village on July 3 last year.
Within a week of the policemen, including a DSP, being killed by the gangster and his men using sophisticated firearms, there was a spate of encounters in which Dubey and his five associates were killed by UP police teams. As many as six PILs were filed in the SC, which on July 22 last year had approved the UP government’s decision to institute an inquiry commission headed by former SC judge Chauhan and comprising former Allahabad HC judge Sashi Kant Agrawal and former DGP K L Gupta.
