Six years after dreaded Kanpur gangster Vikas Dubey was killed in a high-profile police encounter on July 10, 2020, his official death certificate has finally been issued by the civic administration. The prolonged delay stemmed from a clerical error committed at the post-mortem house, where the mortuary staff mistakenly recorded his father's name as "Rajkumar Dubey" instead of the correct name, "Ramkumar Dubey," on the formal autopsy records and body disposal receipts. When his wife, Richa Dubey, approached the municipal authorities to collect the document, the discrepancies between the inquest papers and civic records blocked the registration, leaving the issuance of the legal certificate stalled for years despite her repeated administrative representations.
Richa Dubey Approaches High Court: CMO Inquiry Clears Legal Hurdles to Finalize Records
Exhausted by fruitless visits across the Municipal Corporation, the mortuary office, the Health Department, and the District Magistrate's grievance cell, Richa Dubey eventually knocked on the doors of the Allahabad High Court by filing a formal writ petition. Taking serious note of the bureaucratic deadlock, the High Court directed the state health authorities to submit an exhaustive fact-finding report. Consequently, Kanpur Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr. Haridutt Nemi conducted an in-person scrutiny of original post-mortem archives, Panchayatnama registers, and mortuary employee logs, rectifying the clerical discrepancy before formally tendering the verified records to the High Court, clearing the path for the official release of the death certificate.
