Dig deeper, cbi!

 

 

This refers to the special report 'Why is CBI protecting Pandher?' (TSI December 3, 2007). It is true that the CBI’s role in the Nithari case is gradually emerging. After the CBI gave a clean chit to the prime accused of the Nathari case Moninder Singh Pandher and Nandlal, the prime witness to the horror tales of Nathari, went hostile, it has become clear that Pandher has a very long arm and that he has the money and muscles to destroy all evidence of his crime. If he is innocent then why is he threatening people? The three member committee, chaired by Ms Manjula Krishanan, Joint Secretary in the Women and Child Development Ministry, has expressed surprise over inadequate police action in finding the missing children. The committee has drawn these inferences after visiting Nithari and holding discussions with officers of the district administration besides meeting families of victims and local residents. It is high time that people of Nathari and surrounding area should come forward with any proof or evidence they may have about Pandher’s involvement in the rape and murder of the children, including Pinki Sarkar and Payal. If CBI is serious to dig out facts, it needs to win the confidence of the victims’ families.
