On a chilly February morning in 2002, a lone figure stood before a burnt corpse on a hospital gurney. The air was thick with the smell of smoke and charred flesh. The face of the body was unrecognizable – blackened and battered beyond identity. As a mother gently placed her palm against the body's hand, her intuition cut through the horror. The hand’s shape and size – not much larger than her own – told her what she dreaded most: this was her son, Nitish. Two nights earlier, he had vanished from a wedding. Now, in the soft dawn light, Neelam realized her life had been irreversibly halved into before and after. The boy she had raised and loved was gone, in the most brutal way imaginable. This is the story of that February morning, that boy, and that one mother’s fight for justice. This is the story of Nitish Katara.
