“Kill him” says Sarla Devi, the mother of the UP gangster who was responsible for killing 8 policemen

Sarla Devi, the mother of the dreaded gangster Vikas Dubey, who killed 8 policemen in Uttar Pradesh, said in an interview that the police should “kill him in an encounter if he doesn’t surrender”. She added, saying, “By killing innocent policemen, he has done a very bad thing. I saw the news of the encounter on TV. I want him to come out and surrender to police for his betterment, otherwise, police will find him anyway. I am saying nab him and then do encounter. He must be punished”.

She called him an embarrassment to the family, and said, “I have not met him in 4 months. I am living with my younger son here in Lucknow. We are facing problems because of him.”

Earlier today, the Kanpur district administration demolished his house in the presence of Uttar Pradesh police officials. Meanwhile, the Station House Officer (SHO) of Chaubeypur Police Station, under which Vikas Dubey’s village falls, has been suspended, as he was suspected of having tipped off Dubey before the raid.

More than 25 teams have been formed by the Uttar Pradesh Police department to nab Vikas Dubey. He is a notorious criminal who has been booked under more than 60 cases, including a blood bath between him and the UP Police resulted in him killing 8. He has been absconding since the last 36 hours after the incident on Thursday. The policemen he killed have been cremated with full honours.
