Gaya: Rakesh Ranjan alias Rocky Yadav, who allegedly shot dead a Class XII student for overtaking his SUV here, today surrendered in a local court a day after the Supreme Court stayed the Patna High Court order granting him bail in the case.

Rocky, son of suspended JD(U) MLC Manorama Devi and Bindi Yadav, was granted bail by the High Court on October 19 last in Gaya road rage case which was challenged by the state government in the apex court.

Rocky surrendered in the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADJ)-(IX) Suresh Prasad Mishra who sent him to jail.

He gave himself up before the court after remaining in hiding since yesterday after the Supreme Court order.

"I have immense faith in the judiciary. The allegations levelled against me are baseless and concocted.... I have full faith in the court," he told reporters in the court premises while being taken to the jail by police.

His mother and suspended JD(U) MLC Manorama Devi too expressed her full faith in the judiciary.
