This is the story of India's most notorious, gruesome, and sinister crime that involved kidnapping, cannibalism, rape, pedophilia, and serial murder all at once.

Update: According to NDTV, "The high court said the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt for Moninder Panther. Koli, however, continues to be a life-term prisoner for his conviction in one case." 

The serial killings took place at Moninder Pandher's home in Nithari area of Uttar Pradesh's Noida between 2005 and 2006, according to the CBI.

When children start disappearing in the village of Nithari in Noida, local parents have to band together to force police to look for their children. When police finally listen and take action, they find a suspicious coincidence; all the missing kids were last seen in the same 100-meter area, later dubbed the “black hole” by locals. But what was this “black hole,” that seemed to suck up its victims, never to be seen again? Was someone behind the disappearances? Or was it something entirely different?
