Second verdict in Nithari case expected today

Ghaziabad:

The second Nithari verdict is expected on Wednesday at a special CBI court in Ghaziabad.

Wednesday's verdict is linked to the murder of 8-year-old Aarti who was allegedly kidnapped, attacked and killed by Surinder Koli.

Koli is the domestic help of Moninder Singh Pander a businessman based in Noida. Pander is not an accused in this case as he had established that he was not present in Nithari when the murder is supposed to have taken place.

While Surinder Koli has been charged in 16 cases, Pander has been charged in 6 crimes following directions by the CBI court to file charges against him. The CBI still has to file chargesheet in 3 cases. Both men have already been convicted and sentenced to death for the murder or Rimpa Halder, another minor whose remains had been found near the house the two men were staying at.

On April 1, 2009, a court in Ghaziabad had said that it will give its verdict in the second trial in the Nithari killings case on April 15.
