But judge Jain held firm. Pronouncing the sentence in a packed court room, judge Jain on Thursday held the crimes committed by year-old Pandher and year-old Koli to be "rarest of rare" deserving capital punishment.
The manner in which the horrendous act has been carried out even puts that era into shame when humanity wasn't civilised," the court noted, justifying the imposition of the maximum penalty.
The judge rejected any calls for leniency. She said, "This crime is against womanhood and a blot on society. The manner in which the crime has been done, death sentence can be the only justice because there was not an iota of indication that the convicts will mend their ways or reform their character in the future.
Earlier in the morning, the CBI had sought death penalty for Koli and left the quantum of punishment for Pandher for the court to decide as the agency had no charges against him in this case.
After the verdict, Pandher broke into tears while Koli remained unmoved. In first of the 19 cases in Nithari, Koli was convicted of raping and murdering year-old Rimpa Halder.
He allegedly lured children — both girls and boys — to the house of his employer Moninder Singh Pandher. Pandher allegedly abused them sexually and handed them over to Koli who in turn abused the victims before killing them.
He disposed the bodies in nearby drains after putting the chopped parts in different bags. The law caught up with Koli on December 29, , after numerous complaints by Nithari villagers whose children had disappeared.
Police search led to recovery of fifteen human skulls, skeletal remains and fragments of clothes stuffed in gunny bags from the drain behind bungalow number D-5 where Koli worked.
Police said during interrogation Koli hardly ever showed any remorse, but he did turn emotional when questioned about his three-year-old daughter Simran. Before landing in Delhi, Koli did odd jobs, skinned animals for a living and sometimes ate raw flesh. In Delhi, his first job was to wash utensils at a rundown hotel in New Delhi. He then got a job as a cook at the house of a retired brigadier in Sector 29, Noida, and worked there from to In , he returned to his village to get married.
Within a month of his marriage, he again left home. He left his wife Shanti behind and landed in Noida. He worked for six years at the house of a retired army major, who then introduced him to businessman Moninder Singh Pandher. Appearances can be deceptive. Nobody would agree more with the adage than friends and relatives of nondescript-looking year-old, Moninder Singh Pandher, the industrialist who along with his cook were charged with conspiracy behind the murder and attempted rape of Rimpa Halder.
Nothing about Pandher ever evoked suspicion from friends and family as to the horrific goings-on in his Noida home. Investigators however have a different story to tell. They say Pandher had a disturbed childhood. His marriage too was a failure. For years he had been living alone at the D-5 house in Noida.
Pandher would visit his family once in a while. Police claimed Pandher lived a life of luxury. He loved his drink, played golf and in his spare time read up on nightmares.
He lived on the ground floor of his double storey bunglow. And his servant, Surendra Kohli, lived on the first floor. Police seized laptops and CDs from his house, which they alleged carried photographs of Pandher posing with nude children. In fact, had Noida Police heeded to complaints of Nithari residents; many young lives could have been saved.
Allegations have been levelled that Pandher kept the police happy during the time he lived in Noida. He allegedly paid Rs 2. Indian investigators find 3 more skulls. Indian investigators recovered three more skulls near the home of a businessman suspected of killing up to 38 women and children, media reports said Sunday. The skulls were found in a drain outside the home in Noida, an industrial and software hub adjoining New Delhi, bringing to 20 the number uncovered so far, the Times of India newspaper reported.
India's top federal investigating agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation or CBI, resumed searches near the home after taking over the case last week from local police who were slammed for failing to properly investigate dozens of reports of missing children from a nearby slum. At least 38 children have gone missing from the slum in the past two years.
The investigators also discovered a bag containing human body parts, bones and clothes from the drain, the Hindu newspaper reported.
CBI officials were not immediately available for comment Sunday. Police have arrested the businessman and his servant, who allegedly killed the children and women after sexually assaulting them. The two — businessman Moninder Singh Pandher and his domestic helper, Surender Kohli — have been charged with kidnapping, raping and killing the victims and then dumping their dismembered bodies into storm drains near Pandher's house.
Angry protests and political rallies have erupted after skulls and other body parts were first found on Dec. Accused serial killer admits necrophilia. A suspect in the gruesome murders of 17 people, mostly children, near India's capital has told investigators he had sex with the dead bodies and ate their organs.
The Times of India said Surender Koli admitted to carrying out the crimes alone and that his employer, businessman Moninder Singh Pandher, who was also arrested and charged, was unaware of the killing spree. The grisly revelations emerged after the two accused were subjected to "narco-analysis" — including truth drugs, polygraph tests and brain mapping — at a national forensic laboratory. Results of the tests are not admissible as evidence in court, but are designed to help police with their investigation.
Residents say at least 38 people, mostly children, have disappeared from the area, and that police had ignored their complaints that the children were missing. The killings have dominated the front pages of all newspapers. The two were arrested on December 29 in New Delhi's affluent Noida suburb after an overwhelming stench led to the discovery of carefully chopped-up body parts in a drain next to Pandher's home.
But Pandher was apparently unaware that his servant used sweets and chocolates to lure the victims to the house, before killing them and raping their bodies, the Times of India said. Koli, who previously worked as a cook in a hotel, narrated how and when he killed his 17 victims with precision. He also remembered the names of 15 victims, the newspaper said, quoting unnamed investigators involved in the tests.
Asked what he had done with the missing torsos of the victims, Koli disclosed that he ate some of the organs and cut up others and flushed them down the toilet. The dismembered parts were disposed of separately. Koli said his first victim was a four-year-old girl. He admitted to trying to eat the child's liver, but said he vomited immediately. His co-accused, meanwhile, emerged from the tests as a womaniser who used Koli as a pimp to find him prostitutes. Pandher's family said the reports of the narco-analysis test results were a relief.
My father used to be out of town for long periods on business," Pandher's year-old son, Karan, told the newspaper. Police in Noida had been investigating whether organ trade was a motive for the killings because the torsos of the victims were not found and only their skulls, limb bones and clothes were recovered from the sewer near Pandher's house.
But according to the Times of India, Koli might have been trying to cure his "impotency". India's federal Central Bureau of Investigation said it would begin its probe into the case from Thursday. Moninder Singh Pandher and his servant Surender Koli alias Satish accused in the heinous serial killings of close to forty children in Nithari arrived in the national capital on Thursday morning. The narco-analysis test, which was conducted on the duo in Gandhinagar's Central Forensic Laboratory for the past one week, was completed on Wednesday afternoon, the results of which will be completed in the next two days.
The duo were taken to Noida's Sector 20 police station at around seven in the morning, where he will be handed to the CBI later in the day, as the central investigative agency has already taken over the investigations. It is most likely that the forensic expert may visit the site again and would try to collect fresh evidence from the place.
The central investigative agency finally took over the investigations on Wednesday after it received the notifications from the State Government in the proper format. With the Centre pointing out the lacunae in the Uttar Pradesh government's move, the State issued the required notification enabling transfer of the case of recovery of skeletal remains from Nithari in Noida as well as the probe into the Meerut lecturer Kavita Rani murder case to the CBI.
Coming under pressure from all quarters of the state police's handling of the Nithari case, Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav had announced on January 5 that the State would seek a CBI inquiry into the matter. The CBI is also slated to probe into the dereliction of duty by the police officers as till date two Superintendents of Police have been suspended and seven other policemen dismissed. The police are pinning hope on the results of the narco-analysis test, brain mapping test and polygraph lie detecting test carried out on the accused to find new revelations and the motive behind the killings.
Apart from this, a high-level inter-ministerial committee is already probing the incident. The committee is looking into the alleged negligence of the police and would also go into the modus operandi and the motive of the accused persons involved in it.
CBI begins probe of Noida murders. The Central Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday registered 19 cases in the serial killings in Noida. Psychiatrists will examine the two serial killers to check their mental health. The narco-analysis tests on them have been completed. The police remand of Moninder Singh and Surender Koli, the main accused in the Noida serial killings, has been extended by two days.
Meanwhile, major leads are emerging from the narco-analysis test on Surinder, one of the two accused in the case. Sources have told NDTV that during the narco test conducted on him at the Forensic Sciences Laboratory in Gandhinagar on Monday, Surinder said that he killed the victims out of sexual frustration. He also said that he was a necrophiliac, which is one having sexual contact with or an erotic desire for dead bodies.
Surinder, while describing how he would dispose of the bodies, said he would cut the bodies into pieces, dump the bigger bodies in the back drain of their house in Nithari and the smaller bodies in the main drain. When asked whose idea it was to murder the victims after they were sexually assaulted, Surinder is understood to have said that Moninder told him to dump the bodies.
Inconsistencies in statement It could indicate that Moninder had some involvement in the actual murders. There are however, reports of inconsistencies in Surinder's statement on Moninder's involvement in the murders. Surinder has said that the police had earlier come to their house but did not know anything about the bodies and had come in connection with reports of call girls at the house.
He is also believed to have said that Moninder used to entertain VIPs, policemen and call girls and that a lot of cars would arrive at their house between 11 pm and 2 am. Asked about the role of Maya, the domestic help at Moninder's house, Surinder is believed to have said that she was not involved. And when asked whether there was an organ racket going on, Surinder said he did not know what an organ racket was. Meanwhile, Moninder, the main accused in the Noida serial killings, underwent a narco-analysis test at the Forensic Sciences Laboratory in Gandhinagar on Tuesday.
One alleged serial killer undergoes narco analysis test. Forensic experts in Gandhinagar Monday conducted a narco analysis test on Surendra, one of the two men accused in the serial killings of at least 20 children in Noida, while police declared the other accused, Moninder Singh Pandher, medically fit to undergo the test.
Surendra went through the test at the Forensic Sciences Laboratory in Gandhinagar. His businessman master, Moninder Singh, was not made to undergo the test after he complained of health problems late Sunday and had to be hospitalised. After checking Moninder Singh's blood sugar level and his complaint of minor chest pain, he was discharged Monday. Moninder will under go the test soon,' said a top police official in Noida. Both the men were flown to Ahmedabad Friday morning and were taken to the Forensic Sciences Laboratory for a lie-detection, brain mapping and narco-analysis tests as part of investigations into the gruesome killings of several children in Noida after they were allegedly first sexually molested.
The brain mapping and lie detection tests have been done on both. Meanwhile, police in Noida continued their interrogation of Moninder Singh's maid Maya Sarkar and her husband. Maya has been working in his Sector 31 house for over a year. He refused to divulge details of the investigations. Since Dec 29, skeletal remains, slippers and tattered clothes of at least 20 children were dug out from a drain behind Moninder Singh's bungalow.
