Make it Clear if It’s Arrest or Surrender: Akhilesh on Vikas Dubey

Soon after the arrest of UP gangster Vikas Dubey on Thursday, 9 July, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav took to Twitter to say that the “government should make it clear whether it is an arrest or surrender”.

He also asked for the call detail record (CDR) of his mobile phone to be made public so that the “true collusion” in the case can be busted.

ख़बर आ रही है कि ‘कानपुर-काण्ड’ का मुख्य अपराधी पुलिस की हिरासत में है. अगर ये सच है तो सरकार साफ़ करे कि ये आत्मसमर्पण है या गिरफ़्तारी. साथ ही उसके मोबाइल की CDR सार्वजनिक करे जिससे सच्ची मिलीभगत का भंडाफोड़ हो सके.

“The news is coming that the prime accused of the Kanpur incident is in police custody. If this is true, then the government should make it clear whether it is surrender or arrest. Along with that, his mobile phone’s CDR should be made public with which the true collusion can be busted,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.

Meanwhile, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi sought a CBI probe in Dubey’s case, raising questions over the grant of “protection” to him.

“Despite the alert, the accused reached Ujjain. This not only exposes the claims of security but also indicates connivance,” she said in a tweet in Hindi.

... तीन महीने पुराने पत्र पर ‘नो एक्शन’ और कुख्यात अपराधियों की सूची में ‘विकास’ का नाम न होना बताता है कि इस मामले के तार दूर तक जुड़े हैं।

यूपी सरकार को मामले की CBI जांच करा सभी तथ्यों और प्रोटेक्शन के ताल्लुकातों को जगज़ाहिर करना चाहिए। 2/2

“Those who think that their sins will be washed away by taking shelter in mahakal, they don’t know about mahakal. Our government is not going to spare any criminal,” the MP CM said in another tweet.

जिनको लगता है की महाकाल की शरण में जाने से उनके पाप धूल जाएँगे उन्होंने महाकाल को जाना ही नहीं।
