First verdict in the Nithari killings to be pronounced

A special court is likely to pronounce its first verdict in the Nithari killings case on Thursday. The judgment would come more than two years after body parts of 19 children and young women, who had been sexually abused and mutilated, were found from a drain in Noida. A special CBI court in Ghaziabad wound up proceedings last month in the murders of the victims who lived in Nithari village near the bungalow of businessman Moninder Singh Pandher.
