The Delhi High Court Wednesday issued notice to Delhi Police on a plea by Vikas Yadav, undergoing life imprisonment for the murder of Nitish Katara in 2002, seeking four days suspension of his sentence for signing some legal papers.<\/p>\n
Taking note of the counsel’s submission that Vikas Yadav would sign the documents and return to custody, a division bench of Justices S. Ravindra Bhat and Pratibha Rani issued notice to Delhi Police and sought their reply Nov 22.<\/p>\n
His counsel said Vikas Yadav only needed to complete power of attorney formalities granting rights to his brother as the property was in the name of his mother and him.<\/p>\n
The court asked, had he not been aware of this property since 2002.<\/p>\n
Another bench had earlier allowed Vikas Yadav to leave jail for one day to attend his sister’s wedding.<\/p>\n
Vikas Yadav, son of Uttar Pradesh politician D.P. Yadav, was convicted along with his cousin Vishal Yadav for kidnapping and murdering Nitish Katara, a close friend of his sister Bharti.<\/p>\n
The duo had kidnapped and killed Katara, son of an IAS officer, on the night of Feb 17, 2002, after abducting him from a marriage party in Ghaziabad as they were opposed to his relationship with Bharti.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
