Patna: The Gaya district court on Thursday found suspended JD(U) MLC Manorama Devi’s son, Rocky Yadav, guilty of murdering a teenaged student Aditya Sachdeva. Three others have also been found guilty in the case.
Additional district Judge Sachchidanad Singh passed the order holding Rakesh Kumar Ranjan alias Rocky, his father Bindi Yadav, cousin Teni Yadav and his mother’s security guard Rajesh Kumar as guilty under various Sections of the IPC.
The quantum of the punishment will be pronounced by the court on September 6.
Rocky Yadav had shot and killed Aditya Sachdeva for overtaking his SUV on the outskirts of Gaya on May 7 last year. According to police reports Aditya and four of his friends were returning home from Bodh Gaya when the incident occurred.
Sources said the autopsy report of Aditya confirmed that his vertebrae were found fractured and he died due to brain injury.
Police investigating the case later found that the bullet which killed Aditya was fired from Rocky’s pistol.
“The entire family is now eagerly waiting for the court to announce the quantum of punishment in the case. We are satisfied that the court has convicted Rocky Yadav of murdering my son,” Aditya’s mother Chand Sachdeva told reporters in Gaya.
Rocky Yadav had surrendered in the court on October 29 last year, a day after the Supreme Court stayed the bail granted to him by the Patna HC.
His mother Manorama Devi was suspended from the JD(U) for misleading police during the investigation.
