New Delhi, September 11: Hailing the Allahabad High Court decision for exonerating Moninder Singh Pandher in one of the Nithari serial killing cases, his son Karandeep today said that he was relieved by the judgement.
“I am relieved. The High Court has given the right decision in our favour. We thank them,” he told PTI on phone from Allahabad.
Noida-based businessman Moninder Singh Pandher,55, was today acquitted by the Court which, however, upheld the death sentence awarded to his 33-year-old domestic help Surinder Koli by the special CBI court in Ghaziabad.
The court, on February 13 this year, had awarded death sentence to both Pandher and Koli in connection with the rape and murder of 14-year-old Rimpa Haldar. Karandeep then moved to the Allahabad High Court.
Karandeep said: We had faith in the judiciary.
