The Delhi High Court on Wednesday (April 2) upheld the conviction of three convicts, including Vikas Yadav, son of UP politician DP Yadav, for the abduction and murder of Nitish Katara in 2002, saying it was a case of "honour killing". A bench of justices Gita Mittal and J R Midha fixed April 25 for hearing arguments on quantum of sentence to be awarded to Vikas Yadav, his cousin Vishal and Sukhdev Yadav. "The appeals are devoid of merit. We have also held that the killing of Nitish Katara was a honour killing," the bench said.
