Editor's Notes
- #17 In this confession, Yadav admitted to taking Katara from the party, murdering him, and burning the body.[14] Although this confession, which was made a week or so after the murder, was not formalised before a magistrate, and was therefore not admissible as evidence in court, the fact that the hammer and watch were found based on this deposition may have weighed with the trial court when it reached its verdict
- #18 In danger of being declared proclaimed offender, under which circumstance she could have been arrested and deported from London, Bharti finally returned to depose before the court. Based on her convenience, 25 November 2006 was set for her testimony jay Katara, but not a relative)[37] had filed a complaint to the police that "he was under pressure to withdraw from the case" and that "his life was in danger".[38] He was then assigned four personal security officers (PSOs) on the orders of the trial court.[37] On 12 July 2007, two brothers, Manoj and Anuj Sharma, called him to the Mohan Nagar temple saying he could meet his separated wife there to sort out his domestic problems. Three more people were apparently waiting nearby in a car. But his wife never showed up and the Sharmas bought him some chaat.[37] Right after eating it, Ajay suddenly took very ill, vomiting and complaining of stomach cramps.[38] He immediately went to hospital, where he was treated for food poisoning. A case has been registered against D. P. Yadav and four others on suspicion of having poisoned Ajay Kumar.[39]
