The quantum of sentence in the sensational Nitish Katara murder case will be pronounced today (May 30).

Vikas Yadav and Vishal Yadav were convicted earlier this week.

Though the judgment was to have passed in the morning, but it was deferred till the  evening.

"The judge thought it is fit to pronounce the judgment later. It was one of the most complicated cases I have ever handled. It involved everything: muscle power, money and politics. Neelam Katara, the mother of the victim, got threat calls. Her son Ajay, one of the key witnesses, too, was threatened. A complaint was also filed against me. All of us were given police protection," public prosecutor B S Joon told rediff.com.

 The accused will file their appeal in the Delhi High Court after studying the judgment.
