Nithari fiasco: The Hindu Editorial on the case being a scathing indictment of investigators

The Hindu  

The Allahabad High Court verdict acquitting the two men accused of killing girls and young women at Nithari village in Noida near Delhi is a scathing indictment of how investigators can leverage popular revulsion against the alleged perpetrators to build a case without credible evidence. It is incredible that a high-profile case, in which the police believed they had solved the mystery of the disappearance of several girls and women in 2006 after body parts and bones were unearthed from behind the house where Moninder Singh Pandher and his domestic help Surinder Koli resided, could have been so shoddily investigated. The Bench has ruled that the confession made by Koli before the magistrate, based on which Pandher was also convicted, was invalid because it was preceded by 60 days in police custody and a mere five-minute interaction with a legal aid lawyer. The prosecution case itself was strange: that Koli was often pushed to an ‘automaton state’ on seeing the alleged promiscuous acts of his master with many women and that he lured girls who passed by into the home, killed them, had sex with the bodies and ate body parts after cooking them.
