The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition filed by Bharti Yadav, seeking her deposition through video conferencing in the Nitish Katara murder case.

A bench comprising Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice D K Jain allowed Bharti, who is in England, to withdraw her petition.

Bharti, sister of Vishal Yadav and Vikas Yadav, both accused in the Nitish Katara murder case, in her petition contended that she could not come to India at least for six months as she was studying in London.
