New Delhi: A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court on Friday sentenced Moninder Singh Pandher and his domestic help Surender Koli to death in the ninth case of the sensational Nithari serial killings of 2005 and 2006. A case had been registered against them under Sections 302, 376, and 364 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
Earlier on July 24, the special court had awarded them death sentences in one of the cases of Nithari killings of Pinki Sarkar (20). The mother of the victim said that as long as the punishment was not implemented, she would not rest.
“We will fight for our rights. The court has given the order; implementing it will take another 10-11 years. As long as that doesn’t happen, I won’t rest,” Pinki Sarkar’s mother told the media here.
Meanwhile, the victim’s advocate, Khalid Khan, said: “The court agreed that this was inhuman and the rarest of rare case. The CBI hadn’t produced any evidence against Pandher, and he was punished following the victim’s statement.”
Koli has been already convicted of the five murders and was sentenced to death. He was earlier given a death sentence which was later changed to a life sentence by the Supreme Court on September 7, 2014.
