Did villagers aid the Killers ?

There is no doubt that Nithari could not have gone unnoticed for two years by all and sundry.There were some definite cover-ups by the police and other high-up people. Here's what some local residents had to say about the alleged involvement of some of their own people -


GIVING A new twist to the gruesome killings of 17 children at Nithari, parents of seven victims have accused some fellow villagers of aiding the killers in the crime.

The killings were on for the past two years in an organised manner. It was not possible without the help of local residents,” stated Sunil Biswas, father of Pushpa (13 years) who was allegedly killed by Moninder Singh Pandher and his servant Surendra Koli.

Moninder and his servant never came to our village. The local residents kidnapped our children and handed them over to the killer duo,” asserted Biswas adding, “Now we are being threatened by them to hush up the matter.”

Talking to HT, Biswas said life of all the kin of the victims was in danger.

He said he had met Surendra Koli thrice after his arrest. “I have met Surendra three times and he never appeared to be mentally insane,” asserted Biswas.

His memory was so sharp that he remembered each and every detail related to the killings, Biswas said adding, “When I asked him about my daughter, Surendra even remembered the exact colour of the dress she was wearing on the fateful day.”

The Nithari families were in the city on their way back home after meeting the CM in Lucknow on Sunday. They said they had complete faith on the recently transferred SSP of Noida RKS Rathore and demanded revocation of his transfer order. James Thapa, father of another victim Nisha (10 years), said Rathore was instrumental in working out the case and arrest of the main culprits.

Rathore was on the verge of exposing these local residents, who acted as the agents of the two killers,” added Thapa. Reeta Sarkar, mother of Deepali (12 years), also accused local residents of being hand-in-glove with the two killers.

These locals threatened us with dire consequences after SSP Rathore got transferred, stated Sarkar. During our meeting with the CM, we also requested him to revoke the transfer orders of SSP Rathore and Circle Officer Dinesh Yadav, Sarkar added.

Biswas and Thapa said if their demands were not met, they would take the extreme step of self-immolation.

UH OH. .
