Surender Koli, convicted of rapes and murders in the Nithari serial killings case, has been brought back to Dasna jail in Ghaziabad. Koli was shifted to Meerut district jail after his mercy petition was rejected by the President. He was lodged in Meerut district jail and was to be executed there. He escaped the gallows after Supreme Court stayed his hanging.
Koli was transferred from Dasna jail to Meerut jail on September 4 and was to be sent to the gallows on September 1. Since Koli is supposed to attend other hearings in the Nithari killings case in the special CBI court, he was shifted to Dasna Jail for further trials. The decision to shift him from Meerut jail to Dasna jail was taken after the Supreme Court stayed his death petition.
