Hey,
Some stories refuse to fade. Remember the chilling Nithari murders that shook the country 18 years ago? Over a dozen lives lost, gruesome discoveries, and a trial that left us with more questions than answers.
Standing before the abandoned D5 bungalow in October 2024, now covered in creepers, my colleague Tapasya felt the weight of everything that went wrong. The police, the courts, the media – how everyone failed. And a poor Dalit house servant became the convenient villain.
At The Reporters’ Collective, we’re revisiting this case because the stories we were told feel incomplete, stitched together for convenience and closure.
Starting tomorrow, we take you through a case that exposes the cracks in our criminal justice system. Read Tapasya’s prologue to her new investigation here.
Stay with us!

We are facing a critical moment at The Collective. While we struggle to look for funds to pay our journalists, our crisis has deepened after the tax authorities revoked our non-profit status last month, claiming that journalism does not serve a public purpose.
This decision threatens our ability to fund fearless, investigative reporting.
Now, more than ever, we need your support. If you believe journalism is a public good, stand with us. Every contribution matters. Help keep our independent reporting alive.
