When cops were taking him to an undisclosed location in a jeep, he was heard shouting, Main Vikas Dubey hun, Kanpur wala.
The accident took place near Badjhar Ghat at around 1.30 am when the vehicle's driver lost control over the wheels.
Dubey is the main accused in the encounter that took place in Kanpur last week, in which a group of assailants allegedly opened fire on a police team, which had gone to arrest him. Eight police personnel were killed in the encounter.
Before he was killed along with seven colleagues during a raid on Vikas Dubey's hideout, Deputy Superintendent of Police Devendra Mishra had suggested that the then Kanpur SSP was "protecting" the then station officer of Chaubeypur who had links with the gangster, audio clips of his purported phone conversations show.
She also said that his in-laws are in Madhya Pradesh and added, "He visits the Mahakal Temple every year. Lord Mahakal has saved his life."
Dubey was arrested outside the Mahakal temple at Ujjan in Madhya Pradesh on Thursday morning.
The letter, which has surfaced on social media, alleges that station officer Vinay Tiwari had got a serious charge against Dubey dropped. Police suspect that Vinay Tiwari may have tipped-off Dubey that a police team was on its way to arrest him.
Arvind alias Guddan Ramvilas Trivedi, 46, an aide of Dubey, was allegedly involved in the killing of eight policemen during a raid on the slain gangster's house in Kanpur district.
