Allahabad: The Allahabad High Court acquitted prime suspect Surinder Kohli in 12 cases concerning the 2005-06 Noida serial murder case (Nithari case). In all 12 cases, he had been awarded the death penalty by court.
The Allahabad High Court’s acquittal of Surinder Koli in 12 cases concerning the 2005-2006 Noida serial murders case (Nithari case) is a shocking and distressing verdict. Koli was the prime suspect in the case, and he was convicted and sentenced to death in 2009. However, the High Court has now overturned his convictions in 12 of the 16 cases against him, citing lack of evidence.
The Nithari serial murders case was one of the most gruesome and notorious crimes in Indian history. Koli is accused of raping and murdering at least 16 children, and the case gripped the nation with its brutality and horror. The acquittal of Koli in 12 of these cases is a major setback for the families of the victims, who have been waiting for justice for over a decade.
The High Court’s verdict has also raised concerns about the criminal justice system in India. Many legal experts have questioned the High Court’s reasoning, and some have even alleged that Koli has been acquitted due to political interference.
It is important to note that Koli has not been fully acquitted in the Nithari case. He is still facing trial in four cases, and he remains convicted and sentenced to death in one case. However, his acquittal in 12 of the cases against him is a major setback for the prosecution.
The families of the victims in the Nithari case have expressed their disappointment and outrage at the High Court’s verdict. They have vowed to continue fighting for justice, and they have appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn the High Court’s decision.
The Allahabad High Court’s acquittal of Surinder Koli in 12 cases concerning the Nithari serial murders case is a major setback for the victims and their families. It is also a worrying development for the criminal justice system in India. It is important to ensure that Koli is brought to justice for his crimes, and that the families of the victims get the closure they deserve.
