Surendra Koli dies by suicide: A brief timeline of 2006 Nithari serial murders case

Surendra Koli, acquitted in the 2006 Nithari serial murders case, was found dead at his tea stall in Haridwar on Friday. Koli had moved to Uttarakhand for the past few months and was tried for over a dozen cases of rape and murder of several women and children. He walked out of Kasna jail in Greater Noida in November last year after the Supreme Court set aside his conviction in a case of rape and murder of a teenage girl.

Koli was behind bars for 19 years in the Nithari serial killings case, during which he was accused of abducting and raping children and women from nearby villages, committing acts of cannibalism, and disposing of their bodies in a drain in the locality.
