When Corona was wreaking havoc in the country, in July 2020, the Kanpur district of Uttar Pradesh was shaken by the murder of 8 police personnel in public by dreaded criminal Vikas Dubey. At that time when the credibility of the UP Police was at stake, Amitabh Yash's team was the big talking point after Vikas Dubey's encounter.
Amitabh Yash's father Ramyash Singh, who is known as an encounter specialist throughout the country, has also been a well-known IPS of Bihar cadre. Born on 11 April 1971 in Patna, Amitabh is originally from Bhojpur district.
The biggest achievement of Amitabh, who has done more than 150 encounters, is to free the Chambal area of Uttar Pradesh from dreaded dacoits.
There was a time when there was terror of dacoits in this area. Amitabh took the challenge and gunned down dacoits like Dadua and Thokiya after combing in the jungle for months.
Amitabh, who has been SSP in a dozen big and challenging districts like Noida, Kanpur in UP, is considered an expert in dealing with riots.
