Rocky Yadav was not traceable after the Supreme Court cancelled his bail granted by the Patna high court. M I Khan reports.

Rakesh Ranjan alias Rocky Yadav, who allegedly shot dead a Class XII student for overtaking his SUV in Bihar, on Saturday surrendered in the Gaya civil court.

Rocky -- who was not traceable after the Supreme Court on Friday cancelled his bail granted by the Patna high court -- arrived at Patna airport on Saturday morning from Delhi and surrendered in the Gaya court, a district police told Rediff.com.

Rocky, son of suspended Janata Dal-United MLC Manorama Devi and Bindi Yadav, was granted bail by the high court on October 19 in Gaya road rage case which was challenged by the state govenrment in the apex court.

Rocky surrendered in the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge (ADJ)-(IX) Suresh Prasad Mishra who sent him to jail.

He gave himself up before the court after remaining in hiding since Friday after the Supreme Court order.

"I have immense faith in the judiciary. The allegations levelled against me are baseless and concocted.... I have full faith in the court," he told reporters in the court premises while being taken to the jail by police.

Manorama Devi too expressed her full faith in the judiciary.

Rocky had allegedly shot dead a Class XII student Aditya Sachdeva for overtaking his car on May 7, 2016.

Police had filed a chargesheet in a Gaya court against Rocky and another accused in connection with the murder. They had also filed chargesheet against Rocky's cousin Teni Yadav, his father Bindi Yadav and his MLC mother's bodyguard, Rajesh Kumar, in the murder case.

The state government had put the case on speedy trial and investigation was completed in three weeks and chargesheet filed within a month of the incident.

Rocky is facing two cases -- one of murder of Aditya and another under Excise Act for recovery of liquor bottles from the house of his mother. He was arrested from his father's mixer plant in Gaya on May 10.

His name was included along with his father Bindi Yadav in the case of recovery of liquor bottles which were found when police raided his mother's house looking for Rocky.
