Bones in drain, convictions and acquittals: How the Nithari killings case unfolded

India

  • Surinder Koli, acquitted in the final Nithari case in 2025, died by suicide in Haridwar on September 18.
  • The 2006 case began after children disappeared in Noida and human remains were found near a bungalow drain.
  • Koli and Moninder Singh Pandher were convicted in multiple cases, but courts later cited weak and flawed evidence.
  • In 2025, the Supreme Court cleared Koli, saying suspicion cannot replace proof beyond reasonable doubt.
