UP MP's fugitive son continues to elude arrest

Vikas Yadav, son of Rajya Sabha MP D P Yadav and an accused in an abduction case, on Wednesday continued to elude arrest as searches were on to nab him and police seized a video cassette of last Saturday's marriage party after which the incident occurred.

Vikas has been charged with abducting Nitish Kataria from Ghaziabad after the latter danced with his sister at a marriage party.

An accused in model Jessica Lal's murder case and currently on bail, Vikas is seen in the video as having been present at the party of a common friend Shalini before Nitish Kataria, son of former DIG (Meerut range) A N Kaul, was abducted, police sources said.

Vikas' cousin Vishal, a co-accused in the abduction of Kataria, is also seen in the video, the sources said.

Meanwhile, three special police teams continued to raid various places in Lucknow, Ghaziabad, Bisauli and Delhi in search of Vikas who is contesting the Uttar Pradesh assembly poll from Bisauli as a candidate of the Rashtriya Parivartan Party formed by his father D P Yadav.

UP policemen waited outside the Patiala House courts in Delhi where Vikas was to appear in the Jessica Lal murder case trial, but returned empty handed as he did not turn up and instead moved an application seeking exemption from personal appearance.

D P Yadav, meanwhile, claimed in Lucknow that Vikas was not involved in the kidnapping and that the charges have been levelled by his son's political opponents.

He said he would meet Chief Minister Rajnath Singh to apprise him of the facts and demand an impartial inquiry.
