Nitish Katara Murder Case: Delhi High Court upholds conviction of three convicts

New Delhi, Apr 2 (ANI): In a major development, the Delhi High Court on Wednesday upheld the conviction of three convicts by the trial court in the 12-year-old Nitish Katara murder case. The Delhi High Court, while passing the order, said Nitish Katara's murder was a case of honour killing and there was no need for a re-trial. The High Court said that the trial court had rightfully found three convicts – Vikas, Vishal Yadav and Sukhdev Pehelwan - guilty of kidnapping and murdering Nitish Katara in 2002. According to the prosecution, Vikas and Vishal killed Nitish Katara on the night of February 17, 2002 after abducting him from a marriage party in Ghaziabad. Seeking death penalty for the convicts, the prosecution told the high court that Nitish Katara and Bharti Yadav were in an intense relationship and her family's opposition to their friendship led to the killing of Nitish Katara. Nitish Katara’s mother and prosecution, Neelam Katara said that she is happy as a mother and as a Indian citizen with today’s decision. Apr 2, 2014
