BLIND : INDIAN LEGAL &
INVESTIGATION SYSTEM
CASE--34
SARASIJ MAJUMDER
Could you remember Neelam Katara, a 64 year old Braveheart
who fought to bring justice to her son, Nitish Katara who was abducted and
brutally murdered by power drunk youngsters.
In 2002, Nitish was at a wedding with his love Bharathi Yadav and later was abducted by
Bharathi’s brothers Vikas and Vishal Yadav. The next day, Nitish’s body was
found beaten to a pulp and burnt. In this case, Neelam Katara, his mother, was not up against two common criminals. She
was up against the sons of DP Yadav, a criminal, don and obviously a
politician. READ “ D. P. Yadav - Wikipedia”
The eyewitnesses to the murder case quickly changed their
statements and denied seeing Vishal and Vikas Yadav on the crime scene(**Can’t
blame them when their life is at stake**). Bharathi Yadav, Nitish’s girlfriend
never made it to the court for 4 years ! Finally when she showed up to court
she denied any relationship with Nitish. (**Wow**)
After years of fight, Vishal and Vikas Yadav were convicted
in 2008. But the story doesn’t end here.
Vikas Yadav was granted bail 66 times in the first two years
! Neelam Katara was stronger than DP Yadav or his sons, or thought of her to be. She made her stand and
she was not moving an inch without getting justice to the murder of her son.
She even added that, “This fight is not for my son, It’s against honour killing
and honour crimes”. Finally Yadav brothers were brought to justice after 13
years .
13 years !
During her debate in Times Now, she mentions this . “ I’m
60 and I was 50 when this case started . And I know now that if I were to die
tomorrow, they’d be out in 5 days”.
As Indians, we know how true this is and we know what power
drunk and rich youngsters are capable of doing in our country. Neelam Katara
got justice to the murder of her son after 13 years by sheer GRIT, and she is
also resourceful.
13 years, my countrymen
! That’s a year short of Lord Ram’s exile.
No cheers for our legal system ! There are many such
instances!
Cheers to the Lady Neelam Katara !
