Quick Read
Nearly two decades after the Nithari killings first came to light, the Supreme Court, on November 11, acquitted Surinder Koli in the final of the 13 cases against him. In its judgment, the SC noted the investigation lapses and failure to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Close on the heels of the judgment, Discovery+ dropped the documentary, Nithari: Truth, Lies & Murder.
Talking to mid-day, filmmaker Deepak Chaturvedi says the apex court’s verdict reinforces the concerns he had, as he re-examined the case that grabbed the nation’s attention in December 2006 when the bodies of 19 women and children were found near bungalow D5 of Sector 31 in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. While the bungalow’s owner Moninder Singh Pandher and his house-help Koli were arrested in December 2006, the former was acquitted in 2023.
