If the TOI report is correct, the property purchase by the Thackeray kin must have occurred therefore well after the nursing home had acquired considerable notoriety. The TOI concluded its brief report by saying: “However, there doesn’t seem to be any connection between the buyer, Thackeray’s granddaughter, and Dr Raut beyond the commercial transaction.” The newspaper did not divulge how this conclusion was reached. Since the kidney racket kingpin, Dr Kumar alias Dr Raut, had been apprehended in Nepal just a day before the TOI report appeared, this conclusion perhaps was reached after a lightning probe by the Mumbai police. Nevertheless, some further questioning of this commercial transaction may be required for obtaining further leads.
Investigations of the kidney racket have disclosed that Dr Kumar functioned in both Gurgaon and Noida to conduct his illegal transplants. This is the same area in which the Nithari serial killings of over thirty victims, mostly poor children, were discovered. The Nithari mystery is still being probed but no credible explanation for the murders has surfaced thus far. On April 11, 2007 this scribe had raised questions related to the Nithari mystery that have not been satisfactorily addressed. In the light of the kidney racket those questions bear repetition.
1) Why did Moninder Singh Pandher and his servant, Surendra Koli, collude to kill the children and dispose of their bodies? The initial police theory of cannibalism did not wash. When Koli was made to eat a cooked human body part by the police he vomited.
2) The police theory that Pandher used his premises for immoral traffic, by utilizing the services of call girls, who were later raped and killed by his psychopathic servant, Koli, also does not wash. How does this theory square with so many of the victims being small children?
3) Even after Pandher knew that his servant was accused of being a serial killer of children he bribed the police to protect his servant. Pandher himself was charged only with the relatively minor crime of indulging in immoral traffic. To protect himself from that would he willingly become complicit in the serial murders of scores of children? And would the former sub-inspector of the UP police, Simranjeet Kaur, accept bribes to protect a serial murderer unless a continuous flow of money was involved? And would money be paid to bribe the police (we know not how many) unless the crimes generated funds to make the payments worthwhile?
4) Two maidservants of Pandher, Maya and Nisha, helped the servant Koli to procure the children. Why should the maids get involved in procuring children for psychopathic, sex-driven killers? One six year old child who providentially escaped murder identified Koli and one of the maids who tried to lure her. Where are the maids now? Does the CBI know about their whereabouts?
