Wanted gangster Vikas Dubey's close aide Amar Dubey was shot dead in an encounter in Himachal Pradesh's Hamirpur on Tuesday (7 July), reports Hindustan Times.

Vikas Dubey is wanted in the dreaded killing of eight policemen in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur on 3 July.

Vikas's aide Amar Dubey was one of the co-accused in the killings of policemen in Kanpur's Bikru where gangsters had laid a trap for the incoming policemen who were set to nab and arrest them.
