Vikas Dubey. (File) The Kanpur district administration on Monday ordered to attach 23 properties worth around Rs 67 crore owned by slain gangster Vikas Dubey and his family members under section 14-A of UP Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act. The order was passed on the basis of a report prepared by Kanpur Superintendent of Police. The assets include both movable and immovable properties.
Dubey was killed in an alleged encounter in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain days after he and his men gunned eight policemen, including a DSP-rank officer, in an ambush on July 3, 2020 in Kanpur’s Bikru village.
“We estimated the value of all the properties of Vikas Dubey and his family to be around Rs 67 crore. They are located in different districts like Kanpur, Kanpur Dehat and Lucknow. A letter is being sent to District Magistrates of Kanpur Dehat and Lucknow to seize the listed properties,” said Kanpur District Magistrate Neha Sharma in a video statement. She added that during an inquiry it was found that properties were amassed through “illegal means as the source of their income was not clear”. Police said that Dubey’s family members, whose properties were being seized, include his wife Richa, mother Sarla and younger brother Deepu.
