Nithari:Raid on dismissed lady SI's home yields huge amount of money

New Delhi, Jan 30 (UNI) As a follow up to conducting polygraph tests on Nithari serial killings accused, the CBI today raided the Meerut premises of a woman Sub-Inspector posted at Nithari police 'chowki' and seized nearly rupees three lakh.

The raids were conducted this afternoon in Meerut at the residence of Simranjit Kaur, posted at Nithari police post for the last two years, ever since the children started 'disappearing', said a senior CBI official.

''Nearly three lakh rupees were recovered from her residence along with some incriminating documents.'' Simranjit, who is said to be close to Moninder Singh Pandher, was dismissed after initial investigations were conducted into the incident. Raids were conducted today after some additional information on her was received during ongoing investigations, he added.

The raid, which follows the polygraph tests on Pandher yesterday and a day before that, were a follow-up on the 'confessions' made during the 'tests', said sources.

It was Simranjit who told the father of Payal -- the girl whose mobile recovery led to the unravelling of the case -- that the case could not be registered as she had eloped, when he went to register his complaint on his daughter's disappearance naming Pandher and Surinder Koli, sources added.
