According to STF sources, Vikas had a phone conversation with Jai before the encounter. In this, Vikas told him that a big event was going to happen. He should give his wife Richa Dubey and son living in Lucknow a safe place. It is feared that his wife and son were transported to Vikas’s whereabouts, then returned.
In the inquiry, a fact has also come out that Vikas came from Shivli towards Kanpur by bike. Here Jai arranged for a car for him. He left the car after setting up the bike hideout. It may also be that Jai led him to Lucknow or further from some close quarters. This fact will be clear only after the inquiry is completed.

According to the sources, Jai put cash, jewelery and cash in place of crores kept in the houses a day or two before the incident.
