Explaining the sequence of events on the intervening night of May 15-16, 2008, Kaul said Rajesh heard some noise and went to Hemraj’s room but did not find him there.
‘There were two golf sticks lying in Hemraj’s room one of which Rajesh Talwar picked up. He heard a noise from the Aarushi’s room. The room door was not locked and was just shut. Rajesh opened the door and found Aarushi and Hemraj were in “objectionable” position on Aarushi’s bed,’ Kaul said in his testimony. Kaul added that finding the duo in such a position, Rajesh Talwar hit on Hemraj’s head with a golf stick. By the time he gave a second blow the servant’s head moved from the position and the stick hit Aarushi on her forehead. Hemraj’s body was taken to the roof and dragged to a corner where his throat was slit.
‘The V or U shaped injury on Aarushi’s forehead could have been caused by the use of golf stick head,’ he said.
The officer said the noise generated in the entire process woke up Nupur Talwar after which she rushed to Aarushi’s room.
‘By the time the injured Hemraj had fallen from the bed. Both checked the pulse of Aarushi and found her near-dead which scared them and planned that the servant should be executed so that no one comes to know about the incident,’ Kaul said before the court.
Kaul also said that Nupur and Rajesh Talwar decided to hide hide Hemraj’s body and dispose it later. The duo wrapped Hemraj’s body in a bed-sheet and dragged him to the terrace where they slit his throat, covering the body with a cooler panel, he said.
