Koli charged CBI with "falsely" implicating him and alleged, "I was framed so that my master Mohindar Singh Pandher could be saved".

CBI counsel T P Sharma had on Monday concluded the prosecution's theory of the case. Choti Payal was one of the victims in the gruesome Nithari killings in Noida, which had made headlines across the country in 2006.
