In a shocking revelation, an investigating officer of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has alleged that Rajesh Talwar had made a last-ditch attempt to manipulate evidences through his international contacts, by suggesting that the investigating agency conducts a LCN-DNA test of the blood samples taken from Aarushi’s bed.
'No laboratory in the world, including those in India, are authorised to conduct a LCN-DNA test. But Talwar gave us the contact numbers of a laboratory in United Kingdom (UK) and suggested we get the test done there. When we checked the credentials of the laboratory, it was found to be unsatisfactory. Even more shocking was the revelation that Rajesh Talwar was in touch with the laboratory,' said AGL Kaul, the investigating officer of CBI during his cross-examination.
Kaul also hinted that Talwar was using his influence to get a report from the laboratory that would be in his favour.
The CBI had then rejected the plan to carry out a LCN-DNA test, as it is not conducted in the laboratories of approximately half a dozen developed countries where samples are sent for forensic examination as part of criminal investigations.
Talwar’s lawyer Satyuketu Singh questioned Kaul why he did not arrest Nupur Talwar if he had enough evidence against her. 'I wanted to take her in to custody but my senior Neelabh Kishore did not grant permission for it. I mentioned her as an accused in my report but it was not mentioned in the court diary,' said Kaul, indicating that the report presented by CBI in the court had been manipulated.
'It’s now clear that Rajesh Talwar was hell bent on arranging a report that would help prove his innocence by conducting the LCN-DNA test from a foreign laboratory,' R K Saini, CBI's chief prosecutor, told Millennium Post.
Kaul had already submitted in court that the CBI could not recover the clothes that Rajesh Talwar was wearing when he picked up Aarushi, and that got blood stained in the process, or the golf club that Talwar had allegedly used for killing Aarushi and the family servant, Hemraj.
The cross-examination of the witnesses by the defence lawyer was completed on Wednesday in a designated CBI court. The defence will now present its witnesses and evidences before the court. Aarushi, 14, was found murdered at her parents' Noida residence on 16 May, 2008. The body of Hemraj was found the next day on the terrace of the house.
