Vikas Dubey's wife Richa Dubey is also closely associated with his crimes. She is said to have aided his notorious activities. Perhaps that is why when Vikas was absconding after the Kanpur Encounter, she too was found to be at large. Photo: Screen Grab.

On 3 July 2020, when the UP police went to arrest Dubey and his men, the scene turned into a violent clash as eight policemen were killed. It was later reported that Dubey was tipped by someone on the inside and hence was prepared for the ambush and managed to dodge the arrest. Photo: Screen Grab.
