Read Comprehension-

The killing of history-sheeter, Vikas Dubey allegedly while trying to escape from the police custody on July 10 will be probed by a single-member commission, lead by a retired judge, the Uttar Pradesh government said on Sunday. The retired Allahabad High Court Judge Sashi Kant Agarwal will head the commission, which will be based out of Kanpur, and have two months to submit its report.

The decision comes a day after a series of petitions were filled in the Supreme Court seeking an independent probe into the killing of Dubey and his associates by the police following the Bikru ambush. The commission will also investigate ‘intensively’ the Bikru ambush as well as all the cases of ‘encounters’ between the police and Dubey’s associates, a government spokesperson said. The incident had become a “matter of public importance” making a probe necessary, the spokesperson added. Eight policemen were killed in the ambush while five associated linked to Dubey, were killed later by the police in an alleged exchange of fire. The commission has been formed barely a day after the State Government set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT), to probe the Bikru incident, the financial and the criminal background of the accused and the role of the Kanpur police. The SIT had been mandated to investigate the involvement of the policemen in the incident, examine a full year’s call records of Dubey and his associates and recommend  “suitable and tough” action against policemen they were in touch with if evidence were found against them.
