Breaking his silence on the incident, Nitish said, "Nobody will be spared. Whoever is found guilty will be brought to justice." He lashed out at the Opposition saying they were trying to project the Gaya road rage case as the return of 'jungle raj' in Bihar.
"The manhunt is on for the accused. Nobody can be allowed to take the law in their hands, strict action is being taken against the accused," said Nitish as Gaya observed a bandh after widespread protests.
MLC Manorama Devi's husband Bindi Yadav and the bodyguard have been sent to a 14-day judicial custody on Monday while their son Rocky is still absconding.
The two were taken to Gaya central jail for interrogation, Magadh Zone DIG Saurabh Kumar said.
"Guilty is guilty, law will take its course. My son will surrender," said JD(U) MLC and accused's mother Manorama Devi.
In a related development, four friends of the murdered youth travelling with him in car on Saturday night, recorded their statements under section 164 of CrPC (recording of confessions and statements).
Friends of Aditya Sachdeva — Md Nasir, Md Kaifi, Ankit Kumar and Ayush Agrawal — recorded their statements before the first-class judicial magistrate Rakesh Ranjan Singh narrating the sequence of events leading to their friend's murder by Rakesh Ranjan Yadav alias Rocky Yadav.
