जिनको लगता है कि महाकाल की शरण में जाने से उनके पाप धूल जाएंगे उन्होंने महाकाल को जाना ही नहीं। हमारी सरकार किसी भी अपराधी को बख़्शने वाली नहीं है: मध्य प्रदेश के मुख्यमंत्री शिवराज सिंह चौहान (फाइल फोटो)

According to the preliminary reports, Dubey was held at the Mahakali temple in Ujjain, where he had arrived in wee hours of the day for worship. The temple security guards, after doubting the "fake identity card" shown by him, took him to the nearest Mahakal police station.

The Kanpur encounter is about the eight policemen were killed when they attempted to arrest Vikas Dubey from Bikru village in Chaubeypur area. He was absconding ever since the incident. On Wednesday, Uttar Pradesh Police increased the reward on the head of history-sheeter Vikas Dubey to Rs 5 lakh.
