Nithari made international news headlines in December 2006 when the skeletons of a number of apparently murdered women and children were unearthed in the village. A local businessman, Moninder Singh Pandher and his servant Surender Koli were arrested on suspicion of murder. The case is currently under investigation by India's Central Bureau of Investigation.
