Skull-man has VIP Links

The bastard has more than 17 young lives on his conscience. How could he even think of snuffing out not 1 or 2 but 17 young lives. He and his accomplice in such a heinous crime, Surender, must be hanged without any remorse.

The alleged serial killer now in police custody for the sexual assault and murder of a series of young victims in Noida, Mr Moninder Singh Pandher, has close connections with Congress politicians in Punjab.

Mr Pandher belongs to a very affluent and well-connected Punjabi family that originally came from the holy township of Paonta Sahib in Himachal Pradesh. He is closely related to several senior Congress politicians, including the present Jalandhar MP, Rana Gurjit Singh, former Punjab Pradesh Congress chief Mohinder Singh Gill and Mr Sukhpal Singh Khaira. His wife Devinder Kaur is a niece of Mr Mohinder Singh Gill.

Pandher runs a lucrative business supplying earthmoving equipment in Uttar Pradesh.
