Nithari case: SC acquits Koli, last convict in the case
The Supreme Court has acquitted Surendra Koli in the notorious Nithari child murder case, closing the last conviction against him after he'd already been cleared in 12 related cases.
The verdict, delivered recently, has left families of the victims deeply disappointed and wondering what comes next for justice in one of Noida's most disturbing crime stories from 2005-2006.
Families of victims deeply disappointed
With both Koli and Mohinder Singh Pandher now acquitted, families are asking who will be held responsible for these crimes.
The judges said it would be "a travesty of justice" to keep Koli convicted when he'd already been cleared in so many other cases.
Unless he's held for something else, Koli is set to walk free—leaving a lot of unanswered questions and frustration among those still seeking closure.
