NEW DELHI - The Delhi High Court Thursday suspended the sentence of Vishal Yadav, serving a life sentence for killing Nitish Katara, and granted him interim bail till Jan 31 to enable him to attend his sister Bharti’s wedding.
A division bench of Justice Anil Kumar and Justice M.C. Garg suspended the sentence of Vishal Yadav till Jan 31 after he gave a surety of Rs.1 lakh.
The court directed Vishal Yadav to report to the local police station every alternate day till the suspension of sentence expires.
The court also directed him not to meet any witnesses in the case in which he is serving life imprisonment.
Vishal and his cousin Vikas Yadav had killed Katara, son of an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer, on the night of Feb 17, 2002 after abducting him from a marriage party in Ghaziabad as they were against the relationship between him and Bharti, Vikas’s sister.
In June last year, the two were sentenced to life imprisonment for Katara’s murder.
