‘Aarushi was killed by her parents’
17 April 2013 7:12 AM IST
The CBI on Tuesday told the special court hearing the case of twin murders of teenager Aarushi Talwar and servant Hemraj that Aarushi’s murder was carried out by her parents – dentists Rajesh and Nupur Talwar – five years ago and no outsider was present. The trial is going on before a CBI special court.
CBI investigating officer AGL Kaul, who headed the probe, told the court in his deposition that investigations revealed there was no evidence of any third person’s entry in the house, CBI counsel RK Saini told reporters.
The CBI officer told court the probe shows only Rajesh and Nupur were present in the house when Aarushi and their domestic servant Hemraj were killed on the intervening night of 15-16 May, 2008. Kaul said several indicators such as dragging of Hemraj’s body to the roof, covering it with cooler panel, locking of Aarushi’s bedroom door from outside and dressing up of crime scene showed only Rajesh and Nupur killed them but there was not sufficient evidence against them.
The officer had filed a closure report in December 2010 where he mentioned a chain of circumstantial evidence which allegedly pointed towards Talwars but said there was no admissible evidence against them.
The magistrate had rejected the CBI closure report and directed the Talwars to face trial. 14-year old Aarushi was found dead with her throat slit in her bedroom on 16 May, 2008.
