Supreme Court Rejects Vikas Yadav’s Bail Plea, Sends Him Back to Delhi HC
The Supreme Court on Monday, September 8, 2025, dashed the hopes of Vikas Yadav, rejecting his plea for an extension of bail. Yadav, serving a 25-year sentence for the Nitish Katara murder, had sought the extension to prepare for his upcoming marriage and arrange payment of the fine imposed on him.
The apex court’s decision directs Yadav to approach the Delhi High Court for any further relief. This effectively ends his immediate chances of release before completing his sentence.
Yadav has spent over 23 years in prison for his involvement in the brutal murder, a case that continues to reverberate across the nation.
The Supreme Court’s decision underscores the gravity of the crime and the court’s commitment to upholding justice. This ruling reinforces the message that even in personal circumstances, the law remains paramount, particularly in high-profile cases that have deeply affected public sentiment. The case serves as a stark reminder of the long-lasting consequences of violent crime.
