killerThere are 11 cases of murder pending against Koli. CBI had filed charge sheet against
him in 16 cases where he had allegedly killed children after sexually abusing them.The
Rimpa Halder case came to light in December, 2006 when a girl who went missing was
found murdered later by Koli.

children and their skeletal remains were recovered from a drain adjacent to the house
where Koli was working as a domestic servant in Nithari locality of Noida, Uttar Pradesh.
Koli was awarded death sentence by a lower court, which was upheld by the
Allahabad high court and confirmed by the Supreme Court on February 15, 2011 for the
murder of Rimpa Halder in 2005.Holding that Koli "appears to be the serial killer", the court
had said "No mercy can be shown to him." A total of 16 cases were registered against Koli.
His employer Moninder Singh Pandher, who was also sentenced to death in Rimpa Halder
case, was acquitted by the Allahabad high court. more >>
