| A Delhi court has sentenced Vikas and Vishal Yadav to life imprisonment in the Nitish Katara murder case.
They have also been fined with Rs 1.6 lakh each.
Neelam Katara, Nitish's mother has told NDTV that she respects the decision of the court.
They were found guilty of kidnapping and murdering Nitish in February 2002.
It is one of Delhi's most controversial and closely-watched cases, the trial took nearly six years to conclude.
Nitish Katara was a 24-year-old executive in love with Bharti Yadav, daughter of D P Yadav.
D P Yadav is a powerful Uttar Pradesh politician with a criminal background.
Yadav's son Vikas and his nephew Vishal reportedly did not approve of the relationship and allegedly murdered Nitish.
Twists and turns
Nitish's mother Neelam Katara has seen it all in her fight for justice. From identifying her son's charred remains to fighting for the case to be heard out of Ghaziabad courts for a fair trial. She also saw the witnesses turn hostile and lost her husband, who supported her in the fight for justice.
She has sat through 400 sittings waiting to hear what she did on Tuesday- that Vikas and Vishal Yadav are guilty of murdering her son Nitish Katara.
''I found the body badly charred and the head had been struck with a hard object. There was a crack on the head and after that the body had been badly burnt. Everything was charred. God forbid that any parent ever have to see the child like that,'' said Neelam Katara, mother of Nitish Katara.
And yet, that's exactly what Neelam Katara saw on a foggy February morning six years ago. Her older son was found dead in a sugarcane field near Ghaziabad. He had been attacked repeatedly with a hammer.His body had then been set on fire.
The night before, he was at the wedding of a college friend. With him, as always, was Bharti Yadav. Bharti's brother Vikas and her cousin Vishal were also at the wedding.
