Hours after gangster Vikas Dubey was arrested outside a temple in Ujjain on Thursday, the Madhya Pradesh police handed him over to their Uttar Pradesh counterparts in the evening, a senior official said.
A police team from Uttar Pradesh came to Ujjain to take Dubey into their custody, the official said.
