Inspector General (IG) of Police, UP Special Task Force, Amitabh Yash confirmed that Dubey was arrested at Mahakal police station in Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain on Thursday morning.
 
He added Dubey himself went to the police station to surrender and got arrested.
 
“It is a big success for the police, Vikas Dubey is a cruel killer. Whole Madhya Pradesh police were on alert. He has been arrested from Ujjain Mahakal temple.
 
We have informed Uttar Pradesh Police,” Madhya Pradesh minister Narottam Mishra said
 
Dubey had been on the run since the killing of the policemen in a shootout in Bikru village near Kanpur last week.
 
The police had been hunting for Dubey in Uttar Pradesh and neighbouring states. More than 40 teams were on the lookout.
 
Five aides of Dubey have so far been killed in separate gunfights in multiple locations, most recent being Prabhat Mishra and Praveen Dubey who were gunned down on Thursday.
 
Earlier, Amar Dubey was killed in Hamirpur on Wednesday, while Prem Prakash Pandey and Atul Dubey were gunned down in an encounter in Kanpur a few hours after the July 3 ambush.
 
Amar Dubey was killed in Etawah when he was trying to escape after stealing a car. Mishra, meanwhile, was being brought to Kanpur after his arrest in Haryana’s Faridabad. He was gunned down when he tried to flee from the police custody.

On Tuesday, gangster Vikas Dubey was spotted at a hotel in Faridabad, the first time his whereabouts was known in what has been a game of cat and mouse since his escape from the scene of the gunfight.
 
His influence with BJP ruling establishment and high end political connections was the reason that despite 60 known criminal cases and a career spanning 28 years, Dubey did not figure in the top 10 criminals of the city.
 
Also around 30 policemen are under investigation after the UP Special Task Force (STF) and investigators found they were in touch with Dubey.
 
The police in Kanpur are investigating how gangster Vikas Dubey got the information about the raid at his house in which eight policemen were killed. The investigation has revealed that the cops helped Dubey on caste lines too .
 
“All the workers of the local police station are under our scope of investigation on how Vikas Dubey got information about police movement,” Kanpur IG Mohit Agarwal said on Sunday.
