Koli U-turn: Pandher is the killer

CNN-IBN

New Delhi: After defending his employer for nine months, Surinder Koli, the prime accused in the gruesome Nithari killings case on Wednesday said co-accused Moninder Singh Pandher is responsible for the murders.

Koli has also said that Pandher tried to have him killed.

This statement is a complete u-turn from Koli’s earlier confession where he had nearly absolved Pandher of all crimes. Both Koli and Pandher have been charged by the CBI with rape and murder.

Pandher was arrested along with Koli last year after police recovered at least 20 human skulls and body parts stuffed in 57 polythene bags from the sewer behind their bungalow Dec 29.

Pandher and Koli are currently lodged in Ghaziabad`s Dasna jail. The CBI, which took over the case from Noida Police, had given a clean chit to Pandher after it did not find evidence against him in the killing of any of the victims.

The CBI had said Koli had allegedly raped and killed 20 children and young women, while Pandher was just charged under the provisions of the Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act.
