According to Shashikant, Vikas clearly told everyone that today bullets will be fired at the policemen and we have all the necessary weapons.
Shashikant was arrested from the Mela Tiraha area in Kanpur. He was carrying a reward of Rs 50,000 on his head.
Addressing a press conference in Kanpur, Additional Director General (ADG) (Law and order) Prashant Kumar said that on the information provided by Shashikant, the police have recovered an INSAS rifle and 20 live cartridges from his house.
”Vikas Dubey had asked his gang members to hide the looted arms and ammunition at his residence at Bikru village. During a search at Vikas Dubey’s residence, we recovered the looted arms,” Prashant Kumar, UP ADG Law & Order, told reporters.
