Charges filed in New Delhi serial killings
Indian investigators filed the first charges in the killings of 19 people, arguing that a man ran a brothel and bribed police and that his servant raped and killed a prostitute, authorities said.
The case has prompted widespread outrage in India after relatives of the victims said police ignored their complaints that up to 38 people had gone missing over two years. Nearly all the victims, some children, were from poor families working as servants in a posh New Delhi suburb.
Surendra Koli was charged with raping and strangling a 25-year-old prostitute, and Moninder Singh Pandher was charged with running a prostitution racket, pressuring witnesses and bribing police.
