Nithari Serial Killings: SC Agrees To Hear CBI Pleas Against Allahabad HC Verdict

The Supreme Court on Monday has agreed to hear pleas filed by the CBI challenging the Allahabad High Court’s verdict acquitting Surendra Koli in the sensational 2006 Nithari serial killings case.

A division bench of Justices BR Gavai and KV Viswanathan sought a response from Koli on separate pleas filed by the CBI against the high court’s verdict dated on October 16, 2023.

Previously in May, the court agreed to hear a plea filed by the father of one of the victims challenging the order of the high court.

The bench stated that the pleas filed by the CBI would come up for hearing along with this petition.

The sensational killings came to light with the discovery of the skeletal remains of 8 children from a drain behind a house at Nithari in Noida, bordering the national capital, on December 29, 2006.

Furthermore, digging and searches of drains in the area around the house led to more skeletal remains.

Most of these remains were those of poor children and young women who had gone missing from the area.

Within 10 days, the CBI took over the case and its search resulted in the recovery of more remains.
