The son of a lawmaker of Bihar's ruling JDU is yet to be arrested two days after he allegedly shot dead a 19-year-old boy for overtaking his SUV in Gaya.
Rocky Yadav, who is in around 30, is the son of Legislative Council member Manorama Devi, who belongs to the JDU or Janata Dal United of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
His father and the lawmaker's husband Bindeshwari Prasad Yadav or Bindi Yadav, told a court today that he could get Rocky to surrender only if he is released. Mr Yadav, jailed in the past for carrying illegal weapons, was arrested yesterday for helping his son run away.
The BJP, however, has launched protests in Gaya, about 100 km from state capital Patna, and also taken the incident to Parliament. "Goondaraj and Jungleraaj have returned to Bihar," said Ashwani Kumar Choubey, a BJP parliamentarian in the Lok Sabha, but a discussion was not allowed.
On Saturday night, Aditya Sachdeva, a businessman's son who had just taken his Class 12 exams, was in his Swift car with his friends when he reportedly sped ahead of Rocky Yadav's Range Rover.
The security guard who was with Rocky in the SUV has been arrested. He reportedly told the police that the bullet was fired from the personal revolver of the politician's son, "accidentally".
A man sitting in the front seat of Rocky's SUV was allegedly holding a gun too.
Bindi Yadav, who has a history of charges, claims that his son "was trying to defend himself" after he was beaten up by a "drunk" Aditya and his friend.
