On March 6, the Supreme Court denied to vacate its order of cancelling the bail of Rocky Yadav in the case.
The apex court, earlier in October last year, stayed the bail granted by the Patna High Court to Yadav, who is the main accused in the killing of Aditya Sachdeva in a road rage case in Gaya on May 7.
The police arrested Rocky from his father Bindi Yadav's mixer plant in Gaya on May 10 last year.
Rocky's parents, accused of sheltering him while he was on the run after the murder, were recently granted bail.
The state government had put the case on speedy trial. The investigation was completed within three weeks and the chargesheet was filed within a month of the incident. (ANI)
