New Delhi, Feb 1 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Wednesday sought Nitish Katara murder convict Vikas Yadav’s medical records from Tihar Jail authorities on a plea filed by the victim’s mother.
“Ever since Vikas was convicted and sentenced to life, he has made 87 visits to AIIMS and other hospitals besides the fact that there was no court order to refer him to AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences),” Neelam Katara said in her petition.
Vikas Yadav, son of Uttar Pradesh politician D.P. Yadav, was convicted along with his cousin Vishal for kidnapping and murdering Nitish Katara, a close friend of his sister Bharti.
The duo killed Katara, son of an Indian Administrative Service 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.
