Talwars knew about Hemraj’s death ‘in advance’: CBI lawyer

Ghaziabad: The prosecution in Aarushi-Hemraj murder case on Friday told a special CBI court that the dentist couple, Rajesh and Nupur Talwar, ‘knew in advance’ about the death of their domestic aide before his body was found at the terrace, a day after the crime.

On the second consecutive day of final argument, CBI lawyer BK Singh told court that on 16 May, 2008, Rajesh had lodged a complaint at Noida Sector 20 police station at 7.10 am, stating that ‘He (Rajesh), wife Nupur and daughter Aarushi reside at his house while Hemraj also lived at his residence.’ 

‘Lived word indicates that Rajesh already knew Hemraj was not alive. Talwar had also said that Hemraj fled away after murdering his daughter while Rajesh 

woke up in the morning,’ Singh said.

The CBI lawyer also said that the door of Aarushi’s room was open and it had blood spot in its front part which meant that during the crime, the door of her room was open and how it is impossible that Rajesh and Nupur, who were in their room adjacent to her room, could not have heard sound of ‘the attack and screams.’  Singh also said that there was no forced entry into the Aarushi’s room as it was already open.
