Nithari case victim's father questions Surendra Koli's death, claims murder
The father of a Nithari case victim questions Surendra Koli's death, alleging murder. Koli was found hanging in Haridwar, with police investigating the scene. The victim's father believes Koli was murdered and not a suicide victim. He suggests Koli might have been killed if he knew crucial case information. The Nithari case involved the discovery of skeletal remains in Noida.
Surendra Koli, a former convict in the Nithari murders case, was discovered hanging from a ceiling fan inside his tea stall in Haridwar on Friday. The 19-year-old incident saw Koli serving time in prison before his release in 2025 following an acquittal by the Supreme Court. Found at a tea stall near Lal Mandir, Koli had been living in Haridwar for months, attempting to conceal his identity.
He had rented the stall four days prior, paying several months' rent in advance, and had since begun working at a company in SIDCUL industrial area. Colleagues were unaware of his true identity. Local residents reported that Koli had expressed concerns about potential eviction of his stall due to Kumbh Mela preparations, fearing his advance payment might be lost. Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding Koli's death.
