Talwars Charged with Arushi, Hemraj Murders


Ghaziabad, May 24 (IANS): A special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court here Thursday charged dentist couple Rajesh Talwar and Nupur Talwar with the murders of their daughter Aarushi and domestic help Hemraj.

Special CBI Judge S. Lal ruled that Dr. Nupur Talwar and Dr. Rajesh Talwar were charged with the crime under sections 302/34 (murder with common intention) and 201/34 (destruction of evidence with common intention).

Dr. Rajesh Talwar was also charged with 203/34 (misleading police about the crime with common intent).

Earlier, during the arguments, CBI prosecutor R.K. Saini contended before the court that the parents were the killers of their daughter.

To cover up their crime, they had "dressed up" the crime scene, he said and requested the court to frame charges against them.

Opposing the CBI argument, defence lawyer Manoj Sisodia submitted that the evidences produced by the CBI were irrelevant. The submission of the closure report itself was the evidence that there was no evidence against the Talwars, he said.
Most importantly, he said, all the scientific tests conducted by the CBI went against the agency.

Hence, the CBI had failed to prove the crime, counsel said.

To buttress defence arguments, the lawyer demonstrated the action using a golf stick, reiterating that the club could not be used as a weapon in Aarushi Talwar's small room.

Neither direct nor circumstantial evidence supported the CBI argument to frame the charges, he said, adding that the Talwars be discharged.

    I think the Talwar couple have wasted enough time and money of the legal system of the country. They could go on misleading everyone, based on the accepted sterotype, that parents cannot kill their only child and try to escape from the crime. But lets keep in mind all those values dont hold good in the society which is in the transitional mode. Its high time they cooperate with the court and reveal the truth.
