New Delhi: The organ trade theory behind the Nithari serial killings has got bolstered after the police revealed on Monday that the knives recovered from Moninder Singh Pandher's house in Sector 31, Noida, were all surgical implements.
A senior police office investigating the case also told journalists on Monday that the bodies were disposed of in a manner in which hospitals purge their waste, showing clinical precision in the entire operation.
The new evidence could point to thriving organ racket behind the Nithari killings, a senior police official said on Monday. Police also suspect that some 'influential' people may be involved in the racket. The chief medical officer of Noida had earlier hinted at such a racket when he detected that the bodies were cut up with 'medical precision’.
The police investigators have also revealed that the bodies were neatly stored in packets and probably treated with chemicals to prevent accumulation of bacteria and emission of foul odour.
Interestingly, even though Moninder's house is located in a plush neighbourhood surrounded by many other residences in close quarters, the locals never got a clue of the barbaric activities or complained of any foul odour in the neighbourhood even though the bodies had been disposed of in a roadside drain right next to the house.
On Tuesday, Nithari was also abuzz with rumours that Moninder's manservant Surendra may have had an acid container on the rooftop of the house where he had dissolved the torsos. This may be a possible explanation for the missing body parts of some of the victims, locals say.
The police investigators recovered some more skeletons from the house of horror in Noida on Tuesday. A piece of leg bone was recovered from a drain flowing next to Moninder's residence.
The bone has been sent to the local district hospital for examination. It was not immediately clear whether the bone was a part of the skeletons dug out by the police near Moninder's house or whether it was a new discovery. The police team has been searching the stream for more skeletal remains.
Meanwhile, an inspector of Noida police was suspended on Tuesday for laxity in the probe. In all six police officers have been suspended and six have been dismissed until now for dereliction of duty.

The police are now banking heavily on the results of Moninder Singh's narco-analysis test, which is likely to be conducted in Ahmedabad on Tuesday. The police investigators feel the results of these tests could be used as corroborative evidence to prove his involvement in the serial killings. The results of these tests are, however, not admissible as evidence in a court of law.
Lie detector and brain-mapping tests on Surendra Kohli were completed on Tuesday, but experts at the Forensic Science Lab in Gandhinagar say that they are waiting for all the tests to be completed before they come to a final conclusion.
Sources say that the during the lie-detector test, Surendra was asked almost 40 questions connected to perversion and cannibalism. The initial tests on Moninder reveal that he was aware of the murders that allegedly took place inside his house in Sector 31.
The police and the experts at FSL are trying to wrap up the tests on Tuesday as the remand for the accused comes to an end on January 11, when they have to be produced in court.
The police will need to analyse the evidence along with the experts at FSL so that they can convince the court that they need an extension of their remand to examine the suspects further.
