Nearly five years after the killing of eight policemen in Kanpur’s Bikru village, at least 65 criminal cases related to the incident remain pending in various courts, reflecting the slow pace of legal proceedings in one of Uttar Pradesh’s most high-profile criminal cases.
The massacre took place on the night of July 2-3, 2020, when gangster Vikas Dubey and his aides ambushed a police team in Bikru village, Chaubepur, Kanpur. The team had arrived to arrest Dubey, but the planned attack led to the death of eight police personnel. The incident led to an extensive operation by the police.
