Published

on

Vikas-Dubey

The Kanpur police have invoked the National Security Act (NSA) against two accused — Jaikant Bajpai and his aide, Prashant Dubey alias Dabbu — in the Bikru massacre case.

Jaikant was the alleged financier of slain gangster Vikas Dubey, who masterminded the Bikru massacre in which eight policemen were killed on July 3, 2020.

Bajpai is accused of providing 25 cartridges of .32 bore revolvers and cash worth Rs 2 lakh to Vikas on July 2 prior to the Bikru ambush.

He had also attempted to help the gangster flee soon after the massacre. All this came to fore during investigation and subsequently, the police had included his name in the Bikru case.

For invoking the NSA, the police had presented the report before the district magistrate (Kanpur).

Superintendent of Police Ashtbhuja Singh told reporters that “After the approval of the district magistrate, a notice of NSA action was served on both of them in jail.”

The police had also stated in its report that Jaikant was aware that Vikas was hatching a big conspiracy against the police but he did not inform the police about it.

The report was prepared by the Chaubeypur police station of Kanpur (Outer) and produced before the district magistrate.

Earlier, NSA action has been taken against three persons in the Bikru case.

The police, on July 1, this year, had invoked NSA against two accused, Bablu Muslim and Ramesh Chandra.

Prior to that, the police had invoked NSA against one Shivam Dubey, an aide and cousin of Vikas who, along with the gangster, was also allegedly involved in gunning down eight policemen.

Under the NSA, a person can be detained without a charge for up to 12 months if the authorities feel he or she is a threat to national security or law and order.

Eight policemen were ambushed by Vikas and his aides in the Bikru village in Chaubeypur area of Kanpur when they were going to arrest him on July 3.

Dubey was killed in an encounter in the morning of July 10 when a police vehicle carrying him from Ujjain to Kanpur met with an accident and he tried to escape from the spot.

Prior to his encounter, five of his alleged associates were killed in separate encounters, while 45 including two policemen and four women were arrested and sent to jail.

Mumbai: Air India Pilot Found Dead In Andheri Flat, 'Abusive' Boyfriend Arrested For Abetment Of Suicide

Mumbai: A 25-year-old Air India pilot, Srishti Tuli, allegedly died by suicide in Andheri East on November 25. The Powai police arrested her 27-year-old boyfriend, Aditya Pandit, on charges of abetment of suicide. She was found hanging in her rented flat with a data cable. Srishti’s relatives alleged that Pandit mistreated her, frequently argued with her over the phone, and instigated her to take this extreme step. The police registered the case on November 26 and subsequently arrested Pandit. The court sent him to police custody until November 29. The police did not find any suicide note near her body or in her flat.

According to the FIR, Srishti resided at Room No. 601, B Wing, Kanakia Rain forest, Marol, Andheri East. She was a commercial pilot. Originally from Uttar Pradesh, she had been living in Mumbai for work since June 2023. On November 25, between midnight and 3 PM, she allegedly ended her life. Srishti and Pandit met in Delhi two years ago while training for a commercial pilot’s license. They became friends, fell in love, and eventually entered a relationship.

Pandit had stayed with Srishti in her Andheri flat for almost five to six days before the incident. On November 25, around 1 AM, he started his journey to Delhi by car. During the drive, Srishti called him and said she would commit suicide, prompting him to return to Mumbai. Upon arrival, he found her door locked, then he contacted her friend Urvi Panchal.

Panchal arrived at Srishti’s flat, Together, they knocked on the door, but when there was no response, they eventually brought a keymaker to unlock the door and found Srishti hanging. She was transported to Seven Hills Hospital, Andheri East, where doctors pronounced her dead after examination.

Srishti’s uncle filed a complaint against Pandit, alleging that he harassed and abused her, often in public. He also forced her to stop eating non-vegetarian food. Srishti’s cousin and other relatives claimed to have witnessed Pandit’s abusive behaviour towards her. Her uncle, Vivek kumar Tuli, who runs a gas agency in Gorakhpur, spoke to her friends and colleagues. They informed him that Pandit often misbehaved with Srishti and tried to control her.

She had missed the engagement function of Pandit’s sister due to work, and as a result, Pandit refused to speak to her for nearly ten days. His behaviour often left her mentally disturbed. At a party, he publicly yelled at her for eating non-vegetarian food and forbade her from doing so again. On other occasions, he damaged her car and left her stranded on the road. Despite his treatment, Srishti loved him deeply.

Based on the the complaint, the police registered an FIR under Section 108 (abetment of suicide) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
During her training period, Srishti lived in Dwarka, Delhi. After completing her training, she secured a job with Air India and moved to Mumbai in 2023.
