Bhopal, Jul 9 (PTI) Gangster Vikas Dubey, wanted in connection with the Kanpur ambush in which eight policemen were killed, was on Thursday arrested at Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh, an official said.

Eight policemen, including a deputy superintendent of police, were ambushed in Bikru village in the Chaubeypur area of Kanpur, where they had gone to arrest Vikas Dubey and fell to bullets fired from rooftops last Friday.

But Monaco decided against taking up the option to sign the Algeria forward permanently for a reported sum of 10 million euros ($11.2 million). Subašic made nearly 300 appearances since joining Monaco nine years ago and was a big fan favorite.

But the 35-year-old Croatia goalkeeper fell out of favor last season and Monaco has not renewed his contract, nor that of backup goalies Diego Benaglio and Seydou Sy and forward Moussa Sylla.

Defensive midfielders Tiemoué Bakayoko, a former player who returned to Monaco on loan from Premier League Chelsea, and Adrien Silva, loaned by Leicester, are also leaving.

Monaco said it has also released seven academy players whose contracts have ended, while another academy prospect has signed for another club.

The overhaul will lighten the wage bill and comes after the club appointed Paul Mitchell as its sporting director last week.

The 38-year-old Englishman, who is widely regarded as one of the most efficient talent scouts in Europe, previously worked with RB Leipzig and Premier League clubs Southampton and Tottenham.

Eight-time French champion Monaco has been struggling with consistency since upsetting PSG to win the league three years ago, when it also reached the Champions League semifinals with an exciting brand of soccer which produced more than 150 goals that season.

Mitchell's immediate task is building a strong enough squad to return to the Champions League.

Monaco finished a modest ninth last season, having narrowly avoided relegation the season before during a turbulent campaign where it sacked Leonardo Jardim, hired former France great Thierry Henry, then sacked Henry and re-hired Jardim.

Jardim, who guided Monaco to the 2017 league title, was then fired again last December to make way for Robert Moreno.

Moreno will be hoping to keep the 29-year-old France international Ben Yedder, who is being courted by several big clubs.

French clubs resumed training this week for the new season, which is set to start on Aug. 22. (AP)
