| Businessman Moninder Singh Pandher and his domestic help Surinder Koli were sentenced to death by a special court on Friday for the rape and murder of 14-year-old Rimpa Haldar, one of the 19 victims in the Nithari serial killings.
Pronouncing the sentence, Special CBI judge Rama Jain held the crimes committed by 55-year-old Pandher and 38-year-old Koli to be the ‘rarest of rare’ deserving capital punishment. Pandher broke into tears while Koli remained unmoved.
While Khalid Khan, the counsel of the victim's family, called the verdict a "slap on the face of the CBI" which had given a clean chit to Pandher, the businessman's son Karandeep Singh said his father was innocent and he would appeal against the judgement in the Allahabad High Court.
In a statement, the CBI said it was satisfied with the judgement pronounced against Koli but further action in Pandher's case, if any, would be taken only after examining the judgement and on the basis of legal advice.
The court had on Thursday convicted Pandher and Koli under various sections of the Indian Penal Code for murder, rape, criminal conspiracy and destruction of evidence
