The parents of the children killed in Nithari, Noida, are furious with the CBI.They say the agency has wrongly given a clean chit to Moninder Singh Pandher, in whose house almost 20 children were assaulted and murdered.On Tuesday, they took the CBI to court. Meanwhile, the CBI filed a third chargesheet in the serial killings case on Tuesday. The chargesheet is in connection with the rape and murder of a five-year-old girl Payal.Surinder Koli, the domestic help who was named as the key accused in the first two chargesheets, was named as the main accused in this case as well.As expected, the other suspect, Koli's employer Moninder Singh Pandher - who was given a clean chit in the first two chargesheets - was not mentioned at all in the third chargesheet.Jatin Sarkar's little girl Pinky was among the 18 that were raped and murdered. CBI's chargesheet in his daughter's case said only Surinder Koli was involved in the murder but Jatin, like the rest of the parents, is not willing to believe them. ''They should have chargesheeted Pandher and not just blamed everything on his help Surendra,'' said Jatin Sarkar, Nithari parent.The families are all poor but they've managed to lodge a protest petition in the special CBI court in Ghaziabad. They've managed to hire a lawyer as well. ''Going by the prima facie evidence, CBI has a 101 per cent case against Pandher,'' said Khalid Khan, Nithari lawyer.It's a complaint that CBI has heard before and even though the agency says they can only go by hard evidence, the families refuse to give in.Tuesday's chargesheet for the murder of Payal is almost identical to Pinky's. It did not mention Pandher and indicted the servant only.The frustration against CBI is mounting among Nithari families. They are now going to Lucknow to meet a former UP police officer who was initially handling the case. It is, perhaps, a big sign of no confidence against the agency.
