Terming the killing of eight policemen in the Kanpur ambush last year as a "horrendous crime", the Allahabad High Court denied bail to a woman relative of the slain gangster Vikas Dubey. Khushi is the widow of Amar Dubey, an aide and relative of the slain gangster. 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. It was further pleaded that she was not a member of the gang of Vikas Dubey, rather her husband was a relative of the slain gangster and they had gone to Vikas Dubey’s house on the day of the incident.
