Nitish Katara's mother, Neelam, says she will move the Supreme Court for a death plea. Neelam has been fighting for an enhanced punishment in the  case. She has said the offence could be termed as rarest of the rare and therefore deserves the death penalty.

The Yadavs also have to pay a fine of Rs 50 lakh each.

It may be recalled that in October last year, BJP chief Amit Shah had shared the stage with mafia don-turned-poltician DP Yadav (Vikas Yadav's father) at a rally in Haryana.

Yadav called the BJP president Amit Shah his "friend" and said that he might "definitely" join the party as he toured with Shah in Haryana which was then poll-bound.

DP Yadav was inducted into the BJP on February 20, 2004, but his membership was terminated after only four days following a hue and cry over his criminal antecedents.

"If people like DP Yadav have ache din ahead of him, then I wonder what is in store for the rest of us," Neelam Katara had said, adding, "Anyone who cares for his mother will stand by me."
