Aditya Sachdeva murder case: Rocky Yadav pronounced guilty

A local court in Bihar on Thursday pronounced Janata Dal (United) leader Manorama Devi's son Rocky Yadav and three others guilty of murdering class 12 student Aditya Sachdeva on 2016. The quantum of sentence will be announced on 6 September.

Ahead of the judgement, Aditya's mother had said,''We hope we will get justice.'' Meanwhile, Aditya's father KC Sachdeva said,''Have our hopes with the honourable court.''

Police had filed a charge sheet in a Gaya court against Rocky and another accused in connection with the murder. Rocky was granted bail by Patna High Court but it was cancelled by the Supreme Court later in October 2016.

Rocky is accused of murdering Aditya after he was enraged over the school boy's car overtaking Yadav's SUV on the road linking Gaya with Bodh Gaya, some 14 km away, where Sachdeva had gone with his friends to attend a birthday party.

Rocky's cousin Teni Yadav, his father Bindi Yadav and his lawmaker mother Manorama Devi's bodyguard Rajesh Kumar are the other accused in the teenager's murder case.
