Tribune News Service

New Delhi, January 7
The Supreme Court today stayed the death sentence of Surinder Koli, prime accused in Nithari serial killings, who argued co-accused Moninder Singh Pandher as owner of the house had “more responsibility for the actions of his servants” but was acquitted. A Bench headed by Chief Justice KG Balakrishnan also sought UP government’s response to Koli’s petition challenging his conviction and sentence.

Koli was the domestic help of businessman Moninder Singh Pandher, whose house in Noida was the scene of horrific rape and killings of several girls and women three years ago.
