Aarushi case: Talwars’ counsel rubbish surgical weapon theory
2 Nov 2013 5:03 AM IST
In the Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case, the defence lawyer for the Talwars on Thursday rubbished the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) theory that the throats of the two victims had been cut with a surgical scalpel.
Dentist couple Rajesh and Nupur Talwar’s lawyer Satyaketu Singh said that though there were on record five statements of Dr Naresh Raj, who conducted the post-mortems on the victims, the use of surgical scalpel did not figure in the first four statements.
The surgical scalpel theory figured in his fifth statement just three days (12 October, 2009) before forensic expert MS Dahiya’s statement of 15 October, 2009. So, it was a well-planned conspiracy to plant such weapon on the accused persons since they were from the medical field.
Second, to justify its claim, the CBI investigation officer AGL Kaul sought specialist opinion from dentist Chandra Bhan Singh of the Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi but finding the opinion not supporting them, they did not call him for testimony despite including his name in the list of witnesses.
Third, no witness in the case submitted that the sharp-edged cut injury was done by medically trained people. So, it is also a hypothesis of CBI that the medically-trained Talwars used the surgical scalpel to kill the victims.
