Nithari killings: Allahabad HC acquits Surender Koli, Moninder Pandher
The Daily Guardian
|October 17, 2023
The Allahabad High Court on Monday acquitted domestic help Surender Koli and his employer Moninder Singh Pandher in the 2006 Nithari serial killings due to lack of evidence. The case, which involved the discovery of skeletal remains behind a Noida bungalow, shook the nation with its horrific crimes against young girls.
A two-judge bench comprising Justices Ashwani Kumar Mishra and SHA Rizvi allowed the appeals filed by Koli and Pandher, challenging the death sentences imposed by a CBI court in Ghaziabad. The high court stated that the prosecution had failed to establish its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
Manisha Bhandari, the lawyer representing Pandher, mentioned that the Allahabad High Court's decision could potentially lead to Pandher's release from prison. However, Koli is likely to remain incarcerated, as he still faces life imprisonment in one case.
