CPI(ML) observes 'black day' against Noida killings

Lucknow, Jan 5: The Communist Party of India, Marxist Leninist CPI(ML) today observed state-wide 'black day' against the Nithari killings.

Shouting anti-government slogans, party workers staged a 'dharna' at Hazratganj.

The party held the Samajwadi Party-led Uttar Pradesh government for the 'dismal' law and order situation in UP.

Demanding resignation of Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav, the activists said the SP supremo had time to attend functions in New Delhi, but not to meet the victims in Noida.

Similar protests were seen in other district headquarters too.

On December 29, Surendra, the main serial killer, had admitted that he had raped and killed nine children and six women at Nithari Gaon in Noida's Sector 31.

One of them was Deepika alias Payal, whose mobile phone recovery led to the gruesome crime coming to light. Other victims were those, who worked in the area as maids or did petty jobs.

Of the 30 children, killed over a period of two-year, 17 skeletal remains have been unearthed so far.

The UP goverenment had already formed a two-member high powered committee to probe the case.
