Noida, Uttar Pradesh: Police found skeletons of eight children in a village in Noida, near Delhi, on Friday and claimed the man who raped and murdered them has confessed.

Satish, 30, was a domestic help in a house near which the bodies were found stuffed in gunny bags and buried in a drain. At least 38 children have disappeared in Nithari in Noida’s Sector 31 in the last two years.

Satish, who hails from Almora in Uttarakhand, first came under police suspicion when the cell phone of a missing 20-year-old woman was found with him, said Senior Superintendent of Police R K S Rathore.

Satish has allegedly confessed to strangling Payal. He appeared mentally ill and allegedly lured the eight children, all less than 12, with sweets and then raped and strangled them.

His employer, businessman Mohinder Singh, has also been arrested.

Jagmohan Yadav, Inspector General of Police (Meerut Range), said parents of two girls who disappeared two years ago told police on Tuesday that they had found their children’s clothes and slippers near the drain.

A police team kept the house under surveillance and detained Satish on Thursday night.

TV channels showed police personnel digging the drain with the help of shovels and a bulldozer. An eyewitness claimed he saw police taking away meat choppers, guns and cartridges from the house.

Hundreds of people, including parents of missing children, gathered outside the house as news spread.

They were angry with police and accused them of ignoring their complaints that children were disappearing from Nithari. Some residents alleged that the police had refused to lodge FIRs.

Officials denied the allegations and said police teams had been sent to Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai after reports about the missing children had been registered.

Noida hit the headlines in November when the four-year-old son of Adobe India’s CEO was kidnapped from near his home in Sector 15 and was released for a ransom of Rs 50 lakh.
