The fight is not over, says Nitish's mother

New Delhi: Neelam Katara, mother of murdered business executive Nitish, has welcomed the court verdict against the two persons accused in the case.

“I know this is not the end yet and there are many more battles to be fought but this is a huge milestone,” she told CNN-IBN minutes after a Delhi court found cousins Vikas Yadav and Vishal Yadav guilty of murdering Nitish.

"I'm very happy with the verdict and I am confident that justice will prevail," she said.

“I ask my countrymen to be with me, and together we will take it together till the end.”

Neelam has been campaigning to get justice for her son after he was murdered in February 2002.

Vikas and Vishal, son and nephew of UP politician DP Yadav, were on Wednesday found guilty of murdering Nitish.
