Watch | Who Is Protecting Vikas Dubey in Uttar Pradesh?

On July 2, the police team which arrived in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, to catch the history sheeter Vikas Dubey, was attacked by miscreants. Eight policemen including a deputy SP were killed. The question arises as to how, without political patronage, a criminal can surround and kill a police team and escape with ease. Arfa Khanum Sherwani, senior editor of The Wire, discusses this issue with senior journalist Sharat Pradhan of Lucknow.
