| Cannibals : Koli and Pandher |
NITHARI CANNABILISM: The most horrific incident this year were the Nithari killings in Noida in which more than 30 children were killed. Several parts of the dead bodies were also found in mutilated forms in the D-51 house. However the main accused Moninder Singh Pandher got a clean chit from CBI in most of the cases and was only charged of raping and murdering his female maid. His servant Surendra Koli allegedly was in a habit to have sex with the dead bodies of children. He confessed to the investigative team that he not only killed 17 children but also ate the organs of the dead bodies of the children. It is very much possible as the torsos of the bodies were not found. The matter is under the CBI special court in Ghaziabad.
BLASTS: During the year, the Nation witnessed a row of blasts causing some major losses to the country in form of infrastructure as well as of innocent lives.
