Supreme Court Denies Bail Extension to Vikas Yadav
Vikas Yadav, found guilty of murdering Nitish Katara, asked for more time out of jail.
He wanted to extend his temporary release because he was getting married and needed to pay a large fine.
The court said no, because if they let him out for this, he might keep asking for more reasons to stay out.
Yadav is the son of a politician.
Another person involved in the murder, Sukhdev Pehalwan, was released after finishing his sentence.
The murder happened because the victim and the sister of Vikas were from different castes.
Vikas Yadav, serving a 25-year term for the 2002 murder, sought an extension of interim bail.
Yadav requested bail for his marriage and to arrange funds for a Rs 54 lakh fine.
The Supreme Court denied the plea, citing concerns about the ongoing nature of such requests.
Yadav's cousin, Vishal Yadav, was also punished for the murder.
The murder was related to the victim's relationship with Vikas Yadav's sister.
