The plot of the Netflix original movie, Sector 36 , is based on the Nithari Killings case in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, which shook the soul of the nation in 2006. Both Vikrant Massey and Deepak Dobriyal revisit this real-life horror with their deeply intense performances. The character of Prem aka Surender Koli, played by the Vikrant Massey was accused on cannibalism, rape and murder.
Koli and Moninder Singh Pandher, the co-accused in the Nithari killings case were supposed to be hanged. But due to lack of evidence, Pandher was let free where as Koli is still serving his life sentence. Some of the story is fictionalised especially the organ trafficking bit.
How much of Sector 36 was fictionalized? According to reports published in dmtalkines. com, in real life, the claims of Surinder Koli and Pandher running an illegal organ racket were unsubstantiated by the authorities. Actually, the rumor that Koli and Pandher were involved in organ trafficking came because a doctor named Navin Chaudhary, living in the vicinity, was suspected of being involved in organ trafficking, though the law enforcement authorities did not find any sort of evidence against him to support their claims.
The narco-analysis/brain mapping test that was conducted, after which the authorities pinned all the blame on Surinder Koli, and they didn’t find Pandher guilty of committing any crime. Unlike the film, in real life, Surinder Koli, together with Moninder Singh Pandher, was acquitted of all the charges in 2023 by the Allahabad High Court. The Nithari killings case In Nithari village which is situated right in the middle of Noida city in Uttar Pradesh about 20km from Delhi this heinous crime happened.
But what was surprising being that what took so long to deliver justice to the families whose children and some women went missing mysteriously? Didn’t cries of these families reach the ears of the police or was it just ignored because these people came from poor, migrant labourer families? **Why Prem ( Surinder Koli ) did Bassi’s (** Pandher) recording of his relationships with several call girls? According to the Netflix’s film Sector 36, Prem (Surinder Koli) knew that since he is poor and his master Bassi ( Pandher ) being a rich man, he might pin all the blame on him. In the end we understand from the Netflix’s film that he was made a scapegoat by Bassi (Pandher) which we assume is actually not the truth. At the end of the film we see police inspector played by Pandey (Deepak Dobriyal) going to Koli’s village to collect the CD, but he was sadly killed by Bassi’s men.
Prem lost his only ally in the case and Bassi was being acquitted of all charges while Prem was given death sentence. Prem sensed that this might happen. Hence he made several copies of the CD and sent another one to Bishnoi’s residence so that people get to know the real monster Bassi (Pandher).
