On Thursday morning, around 6:30 am, Dubey, wearing a facemask, reached the Mahakal Temple in Ujjain and bought a Rs 250 ticket to go and pray inside the temple and also avoid the crowd. It is said that Dubey himself informed the guards about his identity and then they tipped off the police about his identity following which the Ujjain police arrested him.
In police custody after a dramatic chase that ended at a temple this morning, Uttar Pradesh gangster Vikas Dubey shouted out “Main Vikas Dubey hoon, Kanpur wala!” The notorious criminal, charged in 60 cases including murder, made the startling admission after five days of running from the police, driving from UP to Haryana, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh after the Friday massacre in which eight policemen were killed.
A police constable holding the gangster cracked a tight slap on the back of his head and ordered: “Chup, aawaz nahin (Shut up, no sound)”. Dubey zipped his lips and was pulled away by the escorts.
