In the Aarushi-Hemraj double murder case, the defence lawyer, arguing for the Talwars in the CBI court here, on Wednesday effectively contradicted the CBI theory that blood stains were found on the staircase.
In their defence, the Talwars’ lawyer Satyaketu Singh submitted that out of seven Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) witnesses, including the maid, Bharti, and six police officials, not one had mentioned the blood stains on the staircase. Even the polygraph test by scientist AD Shah did not indicate blood stains on the staircase, the lawyer said.
The lawyer said the CBI then produced two witnesses, the then city magistrate Sanjay Chauhan and one man named Rajiv Kochar. The defence lawyer argued that Chauhan could not be relied upon since he had claimed that he would arrive for a morning walk daily from Greater Noida, travelling a distance of 56 km both ways.
The lawyer also pointed to the fact that though the CBI claimed to have conducted a dummy test, carrying the dead body to the terrace by two men, and recording the act in video and still photographs, none of these were produced in court.
