Click to play videoNew Delhi: Though it's been over a month since the skeletal remains of young children were found in Noida's Nithari village, not much headway has been made into the case.
On Thursday, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) jumped into the fray demanding to know why only 19 cases have been registered when media reports say that at least 38 children are missing from the area.
The acting chairman of NHRC, Justice Shivraj V Patil has said that the concerned authorities must provide an answer for this.
"It is a cause of grave concern and a serious violation of human rights," he stated.
He added that the NHRC had decided on appointing a committee headed by Commission member P C Sharma. The committee has to submit a complete report on the Nithari serial killings in eight weeks' time.
Patil also said that NHRC is also conducting a survey in Uttar Pradesh where they claim living people are being shown as dead on records to grab land.
The Commission is organising a sitting camps outside Delhi, where it will hear cases of human rights violation. A similar camp was held Lucknow recently on an experimental basis, which drew a huge response from the residents of the city.
The next camp will be held in Patna from April 19 to 22, the Acting Chairman of NHRC said.
On December 29, 2006, skeletal remains of missing children from nearby areas were unearthed from a drain behind main accused Moninder Singh Pandher's residence in Sector 31, Noida.
Moninder and his man servant Surendra Koli have been accused of sexually abusing the children, before brutally killing them. The grisly case has taken many twists and turns since then with allegations like necrophilia, organ trade and cannibalism doing the rounds.
Badly shaken by the ghoulish serial killings, several families living in Nithari village have started fleeing the area.
