Organ trade angle ruled out in Nithari killings

Staff Reporter

Focus on abduction of children for physical exploitation


  • CBI comparing narco-analysis results with purported disclosures made by the two accused
  • Protesters raise slogans against administration, demand capital punishment

    NEW DELHI: The initial findings of tests conducted at the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here on the body parts recovered from a drain outside the Noida residence of Moninder Singh, accused in the Nithari killings, have reportedly ruled out the organ trade angle in the case.

    Though the CBI has not yet received any official report on the findings of the tests, it is learnt that forensic scientists have found tissues of organs like liver, suggesting that they had not been removed before or after they were killed.

    Initially, speculations were rife that the victims were abducted and then killed after removing their organs for transplantation.

    But neither the local police nor the CBI has come across any evidence to suggest this was done at Moninder's residence. Now that the organ trade angle has been ruled out, the CBI investigations will focus on abduction of children for physical exploitation and their subsequent elimination by the accused to destroy evidence of their involvement.

    The CBI officials have also obtained reports of the narco-analysis tests conducted on the two accused at Ahmedabad.

    They are comparing the results with the purported disclosures made by Moninder and his servant Surender Koli to decide if fresh narco-analysis tests are required.

    A group of people, mostly women, gathered near the house of Moninder in Noida on Saturday afternoon and raised slogans against the State administration for its failure to detect the killings for about two years.

    The protesters held placards demanding capital punishment for Moninder and Surender.

    "Some women from Delhi gathered near the house of Moninder Singh in the afternoon and raised slogans against the administration and the accused. They were soon joined by the relatives of the missing children camping here ," said Station Officer of Sector-20 Dinesh Singh.
