Katara Murder: Vikas, Vishal Yadav Held Guilty
NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Wednesday convicted Vikas and his cousin Vishal Yadav in the sensational six-year-old Nitish Katara murder case.
Additional Sessions Judge Ravinder Kaur held Vikas, son of Uttar Pradesh politician D P Yadav, and his cousin Vishal guilty of murder, abduction and destruction of evidence in the case. The sentence is expected to be pronounced on May 30.
The court rejected a plea of Vikas that the pronouncement of verdict be stayed as the Delhi High Court is likely to hear his application seeking a stay on trial court proceedings on Wednesday.
The judge then posed a query to defence counsel G K Bharti as to whether the High Court had stayed the proceedings in this court.
Finding the reply in negative, the court straight away pronounced the verdict, saying, "I hold Vikas Yadav and Vishal Yadav guilty under Section 302, 364, 201 and 34 of the IPC."
