IG probes 'letter' on Vikas Dubey's links with cop, suspended SSPs role

In the letter supposedly written in March, Mishra accused Chaubeypur station officer Vinay Tiwari of watering down charges levelled in a case registered against the gangster

Police on Tuesday said an IGP-rank officer is probing into a letter purportedly written weeks before his death by DSP Devendra Mishra, alleging a nexus between gangster Vikas Dubey and the now suspended Chaubeypur station officer.

The announcement came on a day when a senior officer also pointed fingers at the then Kanpur SSP Anant Deo, now a DIG, to whom the letter was allegedly sent.

Police said there was no record of the letter, which has surfaced on social media, at the SSP's office or at other offices. But they added they will continue to investigate into the matter.
