It was reported that Dubey tried to escape after one of the three police convoy overturned on their way to Kanpur. "The car overturned and policemen and the accused were injured. Then Vikas Dubey grabbed a gun from an injured policeman and ran. The police team caught up and surrounded him and tried to get him to surrender, but he refused and started firing. The police had to fire back in self-defence," the Kanpur police said in a statement.

While this encounter has been making major headlines, it has also raised a lot of eyebrows and speculations are rife that it might be a fake encounter. In fact, netizens have even compared the encounter with Rohit Shetty movie and churned out hilarious memes as they commented that the cops have copied the filmmaker’s style.

A Twitter user wrote, “Hats off to the driving skills of the driver who overturned the car. Rohit Shetty should consider him as a stuntman in his next movies. He can also get the story written for Singham 3 from Kanpur police.” Another user commented, “Was Rohit Shetty directing this scene from the #VikasDubeyEncounter?”
