Aditya, a class XII student, was shot dead allegedly by Rocky Yadav for overtaking his vehicle on May 7. Rocky was arrested on May 10 from his father’s mixer plant located at Mastpura village.
Meanwhile, the district and session judge Sajal Mandalwar sought the case diary and proceedings of a lower court (ACJM court) in connection with the bail plea of Manorama Devi.
Manorama Devi’s counsel Satya Narayan Singh and Qaiser Sarfuddin pleaded with the court for bail for their client on the grounds that she did not drink or was caught drinking by the police during raid at her residence.
