Kanpur (UP) (Agencies): Suspended
Chaubeypur station officer Vinay Tiwari and another policeman were arrested on
Wednesday on charges of leaking information about police action to gangster
Vikas Dubey prior to last week’s encounter in Kanpur, in which eight policemen
were killed.
Tiwari and beat in-charge of
Bikru KK Sharma, who were suspended soon after the encounter, have also been
arrested on charges of fleeing the encounter site and putting the lives of
other policemen in danger, Senior Superintendent of Police (Kanpur) Dinesh
Kumar Prabhu said.
Both the suspended
sub-inspectors were detained for questioning and later arrested, he said.
A separate FIR has been
registered at the Chaubeypur police station against Tiwari and Sharma for
allegedly fleeing the encounter site, a police spokesperson said.
Both the SIs allegedly tipped
off Dubey, a dreaded gangster, about the impending police raid, he added.
Tiwari is said to have been
grilled by sleuths from the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF). — PTI
