Warner Bros. Discovery and Trinetra are turning the spotlight back on the chilling Nithari killings of 2005–06 with an explosive new investigative documentary titled ‘Nithari: Truth, Lies and Murder’.
The release comes at a sensitive moment, just days after the Supreme Court overturned the last remaining conviction against Surinder Koli, one of the alleged accused in the serial murders, according to a UNI report.
The docu-series, now streaming on Discovery+, revisits the notorious Noida case that shook the nation nearly two decades ago. In an official post by Discoveryplusin on Instagram, the platform wrote: “In a quiet lane in Noida, children vanished… and no one connected the dots. The clues were there. The warnings were loud. Yet the horror inside that house stayed hidden. ‘Nithari: Truth, Lies & Murder’ exposes how the system failed, how evidence surfaced, and how a case became one of India’s darkest nightmares.”
Running nearly three hours, the documentary presents an in-depth, unsettling narrative of the investigation. It also features, for the first time on camera, an extensive account from the second alleged accused, Moninder Singh Pandher, who lays out his version of events. The series pieces together the case through the voices of investigators, journalists, forensic experts, and families who have spent years grappling with unanswered questions.
With never-seen-before footage, unedited police diaries, confession tapes, and rare access to Pandher’s first on-screen testimony, the documentary challenges several long-held beliefs surrounding the case. By reconstructing events and bringing forward overlooked details, it shines a harsh light on alleged systemic lapses and institutional failures that allowed the horrors to remain hidden for so long.
Director Deepak Chaturvedi said he spent years researching confidential material, interviewing those directly affected, and sifting through evidence. “The recent developments and Supreme Court judgments have made the story even more urgent,” he said.
“This series isn’t about retelling horror—it’s about context, accountability, and truth. Through evidence, expert insight, and lived experience, we’ve tried to separate fact from speculation and re-examine the Nithari case with clarity and compassion,” he added.
Sai Abishek, Head of Factual Entertainment, Lifestyle & Kids – South Asia at Warner Bros. Discovery, said, “The Nithari case remains unsettling, complex, and full of unanswered questions. What sets this project apart is its unprecedented access to voices like Moninder Singh Pandher, allowing us to revisit one of India’s most confounding investigations through fresh evidence and perspective.”
