[RxPG] New Delhi, March 22 - The Central Bureau of Investigation - Thursday gave a clean chit to Moninder Singh Pandher in the killings of several women and children at Nithari village of Noida but indicted his servant Surendra Koli as a 'cannibal', charging him with rape and of a 26-year old woman Payal at Nithari.
In its first charge sheet filed in the court of Ghaziabad's special judge Sapna Mishra in one of the 19 cases related to the serial killings of children and women at Nithari, the CBI also accused Simranjeet Kaur, a suspended woman sub-inspector of Noida police, of trying to shield Pandher and Koli from legal actions on the complaints of abductions of children lodged against them.
CBI joint director Arun Kumar also described Koli as a necrophiliac, a person who has sexual interest in dead bodies, who carried out all the murders when Pandher was away from his D-5 Sector 31 house in Noida.
'Koli cooked the breast of the first women he murdered and ate it. He ate the arm of the second women, liver of his third victim,' Kumar added.
'Pandher was not present in his house most of the time. In the first two cases of killings, he was in Australia and during the next nine, he was not present in Noida. Again he was away from his Noida residence when the other five killings took place, which was committed by Koli,' said Kumar, virtually giving a perfect defence alibi to Pandher.
Kumar said that Koli in his statement before the judicial magistrate Chandrashekhar at Patiala House courts in Delhi had also confessed to the killings and that Pandher had no role in the crime.
CBI has charged Pandher only with procuring call girls and indulging in prostitution along with his friends at his house.
He has also been charged for pressurising Neelam, a pimp and Nand Lal, father of Payal, who had often visited Pandher's house, not to give statement against him, for bribing police officers to screen himself and his servant from criminal proceedings.
However, Pandher has got a clean chit in the Payal murder, but his involvement in two more cases is under investigation, Kumar added.
