Vikas Yadav appeals to the Supreme Court for interim bail to attend to his mother's medical needs, who is hospitalized. The court considers forming a medical board to evaluate her condition. Vikas is serving a prison term for the 2002 Nitish Katara murder and has previously been denied remission.

Vikas Yadav, currently serving a 25-year sentence for the 2002 Nitish Katara murder case, has approached the Supreme Court, seeking interim bail due to his mother's urgent medical condition.

A Supreme Court bench, comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan, discussed the possibility of the Uttar Pradesh government forming a medical board to assess his mother's health at Noida's Yashoda hospital.

Yadav, son of politician D P Yadav, has been in prison without remission since 2016, alongside his cousin for the murder connected to familial disputes over a romantic relationship.
