After remaining behind bars for nearly five months, dentist Nupur Talwar, facing trial in the twin murder case of her daughter Aarushi and domestic aide Hemraj, was this evening released from Dasna jail. Nupur’s dentist husband Rajesh Talwar, who is a co-accused in the case, kept his hand around her as she walked out the jail in Ghaziabad a little before 7 pm in the presence of a strong posse of waiting newsmen and photographers. Rajesh has been on bail since 11 July 2008.
Wearing a peach-coloured dress, a sombre-looking Nupur spoke briefly during which she said she will abide by all court regulations. Nupur’s parents and Rajesh’s brother Dinesh Talwar were also present outside the jail premises.
Earlier in the day, Special Judge A K Lal ordered Nupur’s release in pursuance of a Supreme Court order which had granted her bail on 17 September, stipulating that she should be released by today, 25 September.
The special judge ordered Nupur’s release on a personal bond of Rs two lakhs with two sureties of the same amount each. After granting her bail, the apex court had put off her release by a week to enable CBI to get its remaining material witnesses examined by the trial court, which is currently recording the prosecution evidence.
Nupur has been in jail since her surrender before the Ghaziabad court on 30 April. She had got bail on 17 September from the apex court, which she had moved challenging the Allahabad High Court’s order which had dismissed her bail plea on 31 May. Earlier, the trial court had denied her bail on 2 May.14-year-old Aarushi was found dead in her bedroom at the Talwars’ residence in Jalvayu Vihar, Noida, on the intervening night of 16-17 May 2008. The body of Hemraj was found on 17 May on the terrace.
DENTAL CLINIC FOR INMATES?
Before leaving the prison, Nupur Talwar handed over a written request to Jail Superintendent to open a free dental care centre for inmates, dedicated to her deceased daughter Aarushi Talwar. ‘In the letter, she has requested to provide space to run a free Aarushi Dental Care Centre for inmates. I will forward the letter to our senior officials in Lucknow on Wednesday for appropriate action,’ said Viresh Raj Sharma, Jail Superintendent of Dasna Jail in Ghaziabad. ‘She has promised to bear all, expenses including machines, medicines and operation costs for inmates of the jail,’ added Sharma.
According to the letter, the clinic will run six days in week, of which Nupur will attend the patients for two days, her husband Rajesh Talwar will dedicate his one day and she will convince eminent dentists in NCR to attend the patients for rest of the three days. She had asked for a minimum 12x14 feet room to run the dental clinic. In the letter, Nupur has promised to provide dental machines, X ray machines, tools, medicines and even perform free of cost operation to the patients.
