SC Extends Vikas Yadav's Bail for Mother's Care
A man named Vikas Yadav, who is in jail for a murder from 2002, has been given a little more time out of prison to look after his mother.
The Supreme Court said he can stay out for two more weeks because his mother had surgery and needs care.
He can't get in touch with any witnesses or go anywhere except his house.
This is the last time he will get an extension and has to go back to jail.
Vikas is the son of a politician and the murder was related to a relationship he did not approve of.
Supreme Court extended Vikas Yadav's interim bail by two weeks.
The extension allows him to care for his mother post-surgery.
Yadav is serving a 25-year sentence for the 2002 Nitish Katara murder.
The court clarified that this is the final extension.
Yadav is the son of politician D P Yadav and was against Katara's relationship with his sister.
