Continuously mounting pressure on notorious criminal Vikas Dubey, the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) on Wednesday picked up Dubey’s brother-in-law from Shahdol in Madhya Pradesh. On Tuesday, the UP cops had landed at the home of Gyanendra alias Raju Nigam and had picked up his son Adarsh after Gyanendra was not available at home. Later, Nigam appeared before cops in Shahdol. Fearing for safety of his son, Gyanendra told media persons that he had severed his relations with Dubey around 15 years ago and settled in Shahdol’s Burhar town. “I ended all ties with Vikas Dubey after my name surfaced in two cases involving him without any reason,” pleaded Nigam. Pratima Mathew, the Addl Superintended of Police (ASP) claimed that the UP police had landed in Shahdol to find a man Raju Nigam who is a relative of Kanpur (UP) fugitive criminal Vikas Dubey. The UP STF however picked up Nigam and left for UP on Wednesday morning in the presence of Burhar police, confirmed Shahdol Superintendent of Police Satyendra Shukla. Sources claim that Dubey had married Nigam’s sister around 15 years ago. However, it was not clear whether Nigam had secured bail in two cases he was named in Uttar Pradesh. Police have already sounded an alert in Gwalior-Chambal region suspecting that Dubey who is accused of killing eight policemen in Kanpur with his gang, could be hiding in the region. The police parties are also searching Dubey in the forests starting from Auriya UP to Nayagaon in Bhind in Madhya Pradesh. Dubey’s native village Bansar also falls in this region. Sources claimed that UP police had traced his last location in Auraiya of UP.
