Koli gets death in fourth case
Surinder Koli, the domestic help of businessman Moninder Singh Pander, was on Wednesday sentenced to death by Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) judge A. K. Singh for a 12-year-old girl’s murder.
Pronouncing the death sentence, CBI judge Mr Singh said that Koli is a “disgrace to society and deserves no sympathy”. The crime committed by Koli was “heinous” and a “stigma and threat to humanity”.
This is the fourth case in which Koli has been awarded death sentence by the Special CBI court.
Koli, who was in court when the court pronounced the judgment, when asked for reaction did not say anything and policemen led him away through the rear gate. Though the court had earlier decided to pronounce the quantum of sentence on Thursday, it later decided to deliver it on Wednesday after the prosecution made a request for it.
CBI special public prosecutor J.P. Sharma said the court had found Koli guilty under Sections 302 (murder), 364 (kidnapping), 376 (rape) and 201 (destruction of evidence) of the IPC.
He was awarded death sentence for murdering Deepali. Koli was the sole accused in the case, Mr Sharma said.
The victim, Deepali, had gone missing in June 2006. Her name was mentioned in the complaint lodged in December about missing children in Nithari. She was identified by her mother through her footwear and the DNA test conducted on her skeletal remains recovered from a drain.
Noida police had on December 29, 2006, began uncovering the remains of children and young women from a drain next to Pandher’s D-5 bungalow in Noida’s Sector 31.
Koli and Pandher were arrested thereafter.
Koli was also given capital punishment in 2009 for the rape and murder of 14-year-old Rimpa Haldar, 8-year-old Aarti and in 2010 on the same charges in the case relating to teenager Rachna.
