Gaya road rage: No bail for Rocky's parents

While bail plea of Bindi Yadav was rejected, hearing on Manorma Devi’s plea was deferred to May 27.

A Gaya court on Tuesday rejected the bail plea of Bindi Yadav, father of Rocky Yadav who is accused of killing the 20-year-old son of a Gaya businessman in a road rage incident. Also, the hearing on the bail plea of Rocky’s mother, suspended Janata Dal-United MLC Manorma Devi was deferred to May 27.

According to police sources, the Gaya district court rejected the bail plea of Bindi Yadav, a criminal-turned-politician, arrested in connection with the killing of Aditya Sachdeva.

Meanwhile, deferring the hearing of Manorama Devi’s bail plea, the Gaya district and sessions judge on Tuesday sought the case diary and proceedings of a lower court (additional chief judicial magistrate’s court) in connection with the case.

Manorama Devi, who had surrendered last week and was remanded to 14-day judicial custody, is currently lodged as prisoner number 10,460 in the women’s ward of Gaya Central jail.

An arrest warrant was issued against her for keeping liquor bottles at her home in Gaya town, in violation of the prohibition law.

Rocky and his father have also been lodged in the same jail as prisoner number 22,774 and 22,758 respectively.

Rocky’s parents’ palatial residence at A P Colony is not more than half a km from Gaya Central jail.

Rocky was arrested on May 10 and was sent to 14-day judicial custody. Later, he was remanded in police custody for 48 hours and is now back in jail.

A day after Rocky shot dead Aditya, Bindi was arrested on charges of helping his son escape after the crime. Bindi, a criminal-turned-politician, faces several serious criminal cases.

The arms licence of Manorma and her husband have also been cancelled.
