New Delhi, Feb 6 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Friday sentenced Vikas Yadav and his cousin Vishal Yadav to 30 years in prison for the murder of Nitish Katara, a friend of Vikas Yadav's sister.
But a special bench of Justice Gita Mittal and Justice J.R. Midha, however, rejected police and Nitish Katara's mother Neelam Katara's plea to award the death penalty to the two Yadavs and Sukhdev Pehalwan, who carried out the killing.
The bench awarded 25 years jail to the Yadavs for the murder and five years for destruction of evidence. The two sentences will run consecutively. The court also imposed a fine of Rs.54 lakh each on the cousins.
The court sentenced Pehalwan to 25 years imprisonment with a fine of Rs. 20,000.
According to the prosecution, Vikas Yadav and Vishal Yadav killed Katara on the night of Feb 17, 2002, after abducting him from a marriage party in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad, as they were opposed to his friendship with their sister Bharti.
Vikas and Bharti are children of former parliamentarian D.P. Yadav.
Vishal was convicted in 2008 along with Vikas for kidnapping and murdering Katara, son of an Indian Administrative Service officer.
