Neelam Katara moved the Delhi high court on Wednesday against the Tihar Jail authority’s decision to shift convicts Vikas and Vishal Yadav, undergoing life sentence for killing her son Nitish in 2002, to a prison in UP, their home state.
Filing the plea, Katara said, ‘As per the media reports, home department of Delhi government has written a letter to home secretary of Haryana seeking transfer of 55 convicts in the teachers’ recruitment scam to a jail in their state. A similar letter was also written to home secretary of UP for the transfer of Vishal and Vikas.’
She sought a direction from the court, which is hearing final arguments of the appeals of Yadav duo, to call for the report from the Tihar Jail and also the office of the home secretary. She also said the Supreme Court had transferred the murder case from Ghaziabad to Delhi on the ground that Vikas Yadav’s father – D P Yadav is a very influential person and there is an immense threat to the witnesses in the case.
