New Delhi, July 24, 2021: Khushi Dubey, a minor and relative of gangster Vikas Dubey, will file an SLP against the Allahabad High Court order not granting her bail in connection with the incident that occurred last year in a UP village where eight police officers were killed by a gang of notorious criminals.

Earlier on July 16, the Allahabad High Court had declined bail to Khushi, the widow of Amar Dubey who is an aide and relative of the slain gangster. While dismissing her bail plea, the High Court had termed the killing of eight policemen in the ambush last year as a “horrendous crime”.

According to police, Khushi had allegedly taken an active part in the ambush at Kanpur’s Bikru village on July 3 last year.

Advocate Pranav Diesh said that he, along with Advocates Rishabh Raj, Aditya Shekhar and AOR Rishi Gautam, will be filing the SLP soon. 

Days after the ambush, Vikas Dubey was shot dead by the UP Police as he allegedly tried to flee from their custody.

Khushi had filed the plea against the rejection of bail by a lower court, citing that she had no role in the ambush.

In her plea, Khushi said she was declared a juvenile by a board on September 1, 2020. According to her counsel, Khushi’s age was around 16 years 10 months on the date of the incident, news agency PTI had reported.
