  "account": "Following his release from a 19-year prison sentence in November 2025, Nithari serial murders case defendant Surendra Koli embarked on a journey of searching for work and accommodation in Delhi and Uttarakhand. Koli resided in a tea stall in Haridwar for a few days before his death. On Friday, his deceased body was discovered inside the same tea stall. Police have suggested that Koli took his own life, although Koli's brother, Chandan, holds the belief that foul play was involved.",
