Nitish Katara was an executive in Delhi when he was murdered in the early hours of February 17, 2002.He had recently graduated from the Institute of Management and Technology, Ghaziabad, where he had fallen in love with his classmate, Bharati Yadav. It is widely believed that he was murdered by Bharati's brother Vikas Yadav.

Bharti Yadav is the daughter of DP Yadav, well-known criminal leader in Western Uttar Pradesh who has also served as a member of the Indian Parliament. The family apparently did not approve of the alliance, and Nitish was threatened several times. He was finally kidnapped and battered to death with a hammer before his body was dumped and burned.

Today, It has been five and a half years to this gruesome and declasse act and we still see Nitishs mother, Mrs. Nilam Katara chasing a lone battle in the court.


The whole country attributes the problem to the system where the whole process of getting justice is long-drawn and where there is no protection for witnesses.
The delay in the case has set a very bad precedent as to how affluent, rich parties get away without punishment.

Henceforth, we sincerely request you, Sir, to explore all possibilities at your end for securing an effective speedier trial in the case. This speedy trial is important to prevent miscarriage of justice and to restore public faith in the state and its institutions.
