Rakesh Ranjan Yadav alias Rocky Yadav, the son of suspended Janata Dal-United legislative councilor Manorama Devi, was arrested on May 11, 2016, for allegedly shooting dead class 12 student Aditya Sachdeva for overtaking his SUV in Bihar’s Gaya on May 7.
He was granted bail on October 19, 2016, by the Patna High Court which noted that co-accused Rajesh Kumar has already been granted bail.
The Bihar government had challenged the High Court’s order and sought the cancellation of bail granted to Rocky Yadav contending that “he has shot dead a young boy on the highway because he could not tolerate a small Swift car overtaking his big and imported Land Rover”.
