Patna, May 11: An undertrial prisoner charged with multiple cases of murder, kidnapping and extortion in Nepal and Bihar was shot dead on the Bettiah civil court premises in West Champaran district this morning. The members of the escort team chased the assailants but they managed to escape," said West Champaran superintendent of police (SP) Vinay Kumar. Five bullets hit Dubey, and he was declared brought dead at the MJK Hospital where the cops rushed him to. "The way the prisoner was attacked has exposed chinks in the police bandobast on the court premises," remarked a senior advocate. Last month a court had rejected Dubey's petition requesting that he be allowed time off from jail to marry his sweetheart in Kathmandu.
